This has lovely autumnal scents of dried brown leaves and some mushroom, and the texture is very nice. It doesn't have much fruit, though, and I think it's past its best days.

Burgundian red. Fruity nose -- plums & raspberries, some earth and fresh rain. A beautiful, perfumed wine that is in a great zone. Fruits carried over from the nose. More earth and wet stones with a bit of moist leaves. Second bottle was less fruit forward and more earthy.

Popped and poured. Light ruby color. Gorgeous nose of dried cherry, cranberry, black tea with orange peel and floral notes. Similar flavors on the palate with pure red berry fruit flavors mixed with some baking spices and tea. Medium+ acid, silky smooth mouthfeel and a long finish. Just a delight to sit and sip on this wine.

Deep crimson. nose of currants, cedar, smoke and cherries. Cherry syrup, currants, a hint of cola and some nutmeg. A bit astringent and not nearly as balanced as one might expect at this stage.

Light color with pleasant floral and spice fragrance. Good mouth feel and medium finish with soft tannins but lacking structure, especially at this price point. This wine is at or perhaps past it's prime, so enjoy.

Burgundy color with a bouquet and flavor of raspberries with typical Pinot Noir spiciness. Good balance and a nice finish, but holding back a bit, with some damping down. I have found this recently in some of the Flowers wines. Still, very pleasant. Same impression for a second bottle.

Floral and strawberry notes on the nose, lush mouthfeel with slightly lingering acid make this an incredible example of Sonoma Pinot and incredibly inviting with food. Perfect to drink now through the next 3 years.

Med red. Lovely floral and med red fruit nose plus some vanilla. Excellent transitions of the aromos into the mouth, oaky tannin and refreshing. This is a keeper!

Deep garnet. Nose leather, currants, sweet cherries. Let breath in glass for 20 minutes after rough pour. Not enough time. A lovely wine that evolved significantly over the course of 2 hours. Cola, plums, earth and chocolate. Nice finish that lasted.

It is different from what I normally like in a Pinot.
Not big and fruity.
But very enjoyable.
