Semi opaque, red, purple Subtle fruit nose, berries Slightly dry, juicy/thin, some vanilla Finish has a taste like chewing on the vine wood itself. Not pleasant.
Brad at total wine did me a dirty. It was "cheap", but still over priced. And cheap Pinot is rarely ever worth it. Shame on me.

OK once in a while I’ll buy a lower cost pinot thinking that it will be a hidden gem. This wine isn’t that it was a $20 wine, if that. Very dark and extracted to the point of almost think your drinking coolaid. Dark blackberry fruit with none of the bing cherry, strawberry flavors that I prefer. Maybe some people like this but not me

Too young and a little over powering. Something on the taste in the middle mellows as it opens, however it never goes away. I prefer the previous vintages.

Pinot Noir is not one of my favorites. I have memories of big flavorful Pinots in the early 80s and stopped drinking them when California Pinots became delicate and perfumed. This wine changed my opinion and had depth and a nice finish.

Nice nose and easy drinking - like my Pinot’s with a little more bite but certainly enjoyable. Not too thin which keeps score above 80 for me.

An accessible pinot noir. Red fruit dominant, very soft tannin. As others said, no need to age or decant, good for entertaining.

A nice Pinot Noir from Sonoma.
Showing red and black fruits with earth, light oak, spices, chocolates, dark coffee and graphite.
Short finish with soft tannins.
An easy drinking Pinot Noir and good by itself or with food. Good right out of the bottle and good for parties.
13.8% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$30.
