Light cranberry/ruby -> light/diffuse ruby rim. Nose of cranberries, beetroot, a little earthiness. Palate presented strawberries, cranberries again and forest floor. Excellent structure & acidity for such a modestly priced pinot; reminiscent of a nice Volnay. There are some light tannins but the amount of sweet fruit more than compensates. Good finish but it's starting to shorten up a bit; drink soon. Is it Burgundy? No, but it is very much a pinot and at a very reasonable price.

Classic Pin-fandel. Fruit forward with viscous texture. High alcohol with a tiny acidic bite. Is it my favorite style of Pinot? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes.

Two words: cola and acid. Cola on the nose and on the palate. Acid that immediately strikes the tongue and on the finish. I've had much much better bottles of this wine.

A really beautiful, feminine, silky pinot that you can't stop drinking. Floral nose, silky mouthfeel, bright red fruit, a finish that lasts forever. A winner.

Fruit forward with a bit of a bite. Held its own over the course of three days. Good wine to sip or pair with food.

Drank too late and too many bottles into the evening to give a meaningful review.

A whiff of cheap juice on opening, needed an hour + for it to blow off.

Drank at spruce - great nose, big jammy pinot. At $20 an excellent QPR. Will purchase.

There is a question if this is off or not. Or maybe just a loose oak on it? Odd, weird.

Very grapey mouth with strong finish. Silky.

Very young. High acid, food friendly wine. Needs some time though as the acid really dominates. Update: much, much better on the second day.

So young it practically tastes unfinished to me. Won't open another bottle for a year.
