Not bad, but would not buy again. A little spicy, with strong cherry notes. But off-cherry, a little like cough syrup. The nose is blandish. Still not that bad. If blind tasting, I might have thought this was a zin. It was still totally drinkable, but I’ve consumed some rather nice Pinots lately, which leaves me a little spoiled. Sorry, but I think this wine falls below 90, which is below my preferred drinking threshold.

Black cherry, raspberry, spices and flowers. Medium to full bodied. Full of ripe fruit but well balanced and finishes nicely. Drink over the next few years

Well made, with fruit and earth tones blending together in a finely structured vein of acidity and tannins. A pleasant long finish rounds out a fine drinking experience.

Good crowd pleaser/cocktail wine. Not complex but a nice fruit forward pinot. Not flabby, but not sure how it would go with food.

Nice flavors of berries and plums. Very juicy and soft. Definitely one to get again.

A little tar on the nose. Fine tannins. Big and plush, lots of spice. A little hot 14.4%

Leslee: This is a HUGE Pinot. Great for those who love a full bodied Pinot Noir. Good for CAB drinkers.
