Solid but not brainy. I expected a light carneros cherry pinot but this had structure and some meatiness... more fruit on day one (cherry cola) that became almost lighter-rhone-syrah like on day 2.
Interesting, and for 35 bucks, worth the cost or admission... if it was $50 retail, I'd probably still be happy, but not over that cost

I enjoyed it. Started out a bit intense, but opened up quickly. Lots of oak, tea leaves, plenty of tannin, and a surprisingly long finish. Not super fancy, but on a Tuesday night with pizza and chicken, perfect.

Lovely red cherries and leather on the nose with a note of something else that I struggled to identify, but one of the tasting notes mentioned cigar box and that sounds about like it fits. Balance tips toward acidity, somewhat, but it's a smooth and drinkable wine. Very tasty.

Medium ruby red colour. Medium nose with cherry, blackcurrant, vanilla, earth and black pepper. Medium taste of cherry, blackcurrant, vanilla, earth, smoke and black pepper. Medium long and dry finish. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. Medium body. A decent Pinot Noir, but you’ll find better at this price range. Goes well with pork or poultry.

A bit my style than the typical Carneros Pinot. Soft red berry, moderate acidity, and a smooth finish.

A powerful wine. High in alcohol, but doesn’t taste like it me. Perfumed nose with notes or crushed rock, earth and strawberries.
