60m air. Pale ruby color. Notes of dried raspberry, blood orange, dried leaves and coffee. Creamy texture, medium-bodied silky tannins. Red fruit and blood orange on the palate, with a spicy streak in the finish. Fairly simple, round and enjoyable if not remarkable.
From a mix of sites in the Russian River Valley, aged in 25% new French oak.

Very light-bodied when first opened, but filled in nicely after an hour. Good bright fruit. Very good QPR. Will probably continue to improve over next year. 89-90

Medium ruby-core to a pale ruby rim. The nose is dark fruit, spice, with floral notes. Mouth cherry, plum spice. Medium body fresh acidity with a medium-length finish.
Nice Pinot that isn't overly fruity with some earthly tones.

Pale to medium ruby color - translucent and dazzling. Plum and black raspberry with hints of cinnamon. Medium minus acid, medium minus tannins, medium minus body. Palate is dominated by cherry, maraschino cherry, raspberry - lots of fruit. Finish is medium that tails from fruit to more toasted bread notes.
This is a fruit forward CA pinot.

Vibrant ruby color. Aromas of crushed cherries, raspberries and wild strawberries with dried rose petals, potpourri, ripe but also airy and enticing aromas. Full but fresh on the palate with suave tannins and fresh acidity, a ripe but balanced mouthfeel. Raspberries, cherry preserves and dark plum fruit blend well with coconut, roasted chestnut and cola, but also these earthy, oregano and bay leaf vibes. Quite a lot going on here for the price.

New World aromas of cherries, berries, Hawaiian Punch, and a hint of vanilla are backed by more earthy, herby suggestions. Smooth, round, and fruit driven, the palate is supported by ample weight, plump textures, new oak, and a light dusting of spices.

The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $35. Rich and fruity, almost cherry-cola on the nose. Strawberry Kool-Aid on the palate. Did I mention “fruity?” Very Good to Excellent. 89-91 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com
