As a plain drinking wine its passable. As a Pinot Im not so sure. The nose gave off no indication of Pinot Noir, on the palate it was only half there. Would have thought this was a blend with Syrah really. Ultimately its drinkable, but would not buy again.

Beautiful dark garnet color. Nose has a hint of Oregon pinot funk, black raspberry and mint. Palate teases with dark cherry and those raspberries, but there is no weight at all to this wine. This is a surprisingly thin wine. There are noticeable tannins, but once they arrive there is no more fruit. The finish is very short. This wine is quite drinkable, but for $23, a definite PASS.
color 5/5 nose 7/10 palate 14/20 balance 5/10 finish 2/5

Pinot Days (San Francisco, CA): Fine entry-level pinot noir with black raspberry and toast aromas and flavors. Sour cherry note on finish adds interest.

We had this a few days ago, but it really didn't wow us at all. Let's just call it 2 out of 4 = "Would drink it if put in front of me, but wouldn't go out of my way" and be done with it.

Candy apple pinot. Not much depth, but solid.

Excellent pinot. Somewhat new world in style but really nice for the price.
