Jasmine, vanilla, sweet toast, and sandalwood aromas emerge under mixed berry fruit. The mid-bodied palate is full of savory, woody, and tart elements that reveal brambly fruit and a dusting of white pepper in the background. Finishes with crushed rock minerality.

Medium-to-deep ruby in color, this Pinot serves up smoky bramble fruits, fennel, meat and earth in a medium-bodied, fresh, lightly tannic frame. The alcohol (listed as 14.2%) is nicely woven and shows no evidence of heat. Unfortunately, the middle palate unravels a bit and the finish is truncated. No doubt that this represents good value, as it is priced very aggressively. That said, it is a somewhat strange wine that is lacking varietal character. Drink now-2017.

Light red with some nice cherry and vanilla notes. Nice level of drinkability with some complexities. Tannin are light with some light oak notes. Good price vs. quality ratio.

Toast and light game with a hint of fruit on the nose. Easy to drink. Good QPR at less than $15.

Light ruby in color. Slightly offensive on the nose. Drinkable but not a repeat buy. Lack of depth and finish.

Not bad, but a somewhat bitter and metallic element that made this hard to drink without food. Not a re-buy.

Great price/quality. Hard to find a pinot at a bargain price.

Slightly better than Avg.. quaffable blended Pinot. Vintage probably helped it a bit. Not memorable, lots of oak/Vanilla.
