A bit disappointing. Reasonably deep cherry red colour. The aroma is nondescript; I'd certainly have difficulty picking this as Pinot, but even so there is nothing really interesting to get stuck into. Palate is ok but again lacks interest.

Lots of ample fruit flavors, not very tannic or overly complex. Silky, velvety, a bit of cherry. Strong raspberry, strawberry and currant flavors. A great introduction to red wine for non drinkers. Wine tasted was the Reserve. Was drinking a lot better now than when I had the same wine a year ago.

Light ruby color. Nose of sweet fruit (cherry) on the bouquet - following into the flavor. Let i breathe for a while to get the full value. Thin and somewhat acidic. Very simple. Not much of what a Pinot Noir should be. Simple, balanced and not complex at all. Medium finish. If you can get it at $7 or less, then a good thirst quencher :-).

Vingegary tart acidity with some sweet fruit (cherry?) on the bouq - following into the flavor. This smell/taste mellowed out after a couple hours open - a must do for this inexpensive wine. Thin and acidic. A little complexity but nothing compared to what I should be smelling or tasting in Pinot Noir. Will not buy again. For 7 bucks more I could just buy a Courtney Benham Pinot for everyday drinking.

Light fruit, smooth, simple, low tannins.
Good (not great) value at $10.

Good for the price (purchased for $10). Little complexity. But certainly had the Pinot color and nose.

RUSSK Sweet fruit, no rough edges, med- med/full bodied, didn't taste like a PN but I wanted more.
