Bright ruby with rose halo. Cherry & strawberry on the nose. Red fruit with floral notes, cherry & rose, some spice. Light to medium body, quite silky in the mouth, smooth moderate finish. Paired with Filipino Crispy Pork Knuckles (Crispy Pata).

Ok wine. Fruity with tannin and balance. Wine becomes tiring after a glass. Not grapes but lacking something. Not complex. Drank with salmon. Probably will not drink again as alcohol content is high.

A fun, forward, cherry-driven Pinot with an easy-drinking approach. Ripe fruit, notes of caramel and cola, but stays fresh. Relatively simple, but very pleasant.

Raspberry/strawberry nose. Dark red/orange hue. Easy drinking wine. Nicely balanced. Strawberry/raspberry, light-medium bodied, medium finish. Not overly complex but enjoyable. In general, this family prefers dark deep reds. For the non-distinguishing wine lover, this is probably a decent wine. Not overly memorable for me though.

fresh berry and violet scents, fruit-forward and ready to drink right away, there are creamy red berries, plums and a hint of smoke on the palate, soft, easy anytime pinot noir to share with a group of friends

This medium ruby wine has an immediately-expressive nose of Bing cherries, paprika and orange zest. Light-to-medium-bodied, fresh and with light sweet tannins, it offers similar flavors which are unimpeded by its well-integrated alcohol (listed as 14.2%). The citrus element builds in the middle and leads to a medium-length, crisp finish. It is very difficult to find Pinot Noir of such quality at this price point. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years. Drink now-2017.

Medium body, good fruit, some oak. Decent but not distinctive CA PN. Would keep a few years.

Very good, bordering on excellent. Bright fruit flavors with a finish of mild chalk and mineral flavors.

6.5 Ok, quite heavy and a bit cliche CA Pinot (black cherry). Slightly harsh but quite drinkable.

So so. Bright cherry flavor. Heat a bit heavy and somewhat tannic.
