Did a taste comparison of this 2016 Pinot and Banshee’s 2015 Pinot. As the ratings illustrate, the ‘15 is significantly better. This one is not as smooth or as fruity as the ‘15. Still a pretty decent wine, but nothing spectacular.

Nice acidity and good earthiness, but somewhat lacks the textbook Pinot character of cherry and sweet spice. Those elements are there, they could just stand to be amped up some. As is, this wine feels a little flat.

Solid Pinot. Toasty black cherry, spices, tobacco, and kettle corn aromas. Earthy, savory, well balanced, and very appealing in the mouth. Develops a whiff of brown sugar to go with dark stone minerality and gentle, black tea tannin.

Some wood influence, sour cherry. Nice bright fruit and some zesty acidity. Medium body. Cherry cola to the palate, which is juicy with laid back tannins. Great QPR.

Great example of Pinot Noir. Had bright red fruit flavors but also a hint of organic earth. Alcohol is in check at 13.5%. A great QPR that actually is what a Pinot should taste like!

Really liked this . A little sharp at first, but as palette and
wine opened up, it became very drinkable

- Ruby color - Tasting great right now. Very typical of Sonoma Pinot.

A pretty wine with lots of red fruit. Unfortunately, structure is simple and acid is lacking. Chill slightly and drink up.

Red fruits. Juicy. A slight metallic taste lingers on the finish.
