Briefly, I find bizarre recent notes here. Pulled and poured from cellar temperature. It's a smooth, big, fruity, easy drinking pinot in the American/Parker style. No great complexity here, but reasonably well balanced.
I got this as a freebie, but it's definitely not a repeat buy at the ~US$25 it sells for in Hong Kong. And the CAV of ~US$19, maybe, occasionally.

Big, jammy and very loaded with fruit laden flavors, particularly raspberry, cola and cinnamon. Ultimately not complex but at the price, well worth it.

Pale ruby colour. Medium intensity aroma of raspberry jam, cherry. Dry, high acidity, low tannin, medium alcohol. Light body. Medium intensity flavour of raspberry, pepper, cranberry. Short finish.

Jammy redfruit nose, but not much else going on there. Flavor is similar with little complexity but a nice smooth finish. A good value for $20 honestly

Deep ruby color. Aromas of jammy cherries, cool, chilled blackberry, along with cola, roses, fallen leaves and potting soil – quite a bit going on here. Juicy and fresh on the palate, this is a medium-bodied Pinot with smooth tannins and fresh acidity. Red and black cherry fruit, raspberry jam, topped in cola, light roast coffee, roses and clove, even some leathery, minty, earthy accents. Yummy but crisp, accessible and fan-friendly but shows complexity and value as well.

High acid, which comes across as spoofilated, not natural to the grape. Simple pinot fruit. Perfectly quaffable but lacking in any distinguishing qualities.

Some of the Banshee single vineyard wines are exceptional, but this one from Sonoma County was disappointing

Wow, this is really bad. Sour, funk. Terribly out of balance
Day 2: much better, give this one a lot of air

Decent, rather generic fruity pinot; moderate-light style, not much character but well made. Duckhouse w/Yarom and group

Not my favorite Pinot. Had with filet and baked potato. Felt very high in acid...not well balanced in my opinion.

Fantastic, especially for 20 bucks. Fragrant, nice punchy acidity, fairly complex, and decently long finish. Great QPR.
