My bottle has been cellared for quite a while and unfortunately got lost in the shuffle. Corked it this evening and although well past it’s peak, the nose was still surprisingly pleasant as well as the taste. I probably wouldn’t serve this to friends at this point unless towards the end of the night when it probably doesn’t matter anyway!! Don’t throw it out yet....but probably getting close! Drink now but don’t expect much!!

Very cliché PN aromatics. Perfumed cherry with a touch of spice. Palate shows less. Spice, red berry and high acidity. A bit uninteresting, lacking complexity. I get the same feelings from it as I did 4 years ago. A good reliable drink but nothing I would recommend or jump at to buy again.

Way better than I anticipated, given that it's getting a little long in the tooth. Big time porcini nose. Some cherry. Some roses. A little bit of cedar box? Tight on the palate with good acid and more tannin than I expected. About the worst thing I can say is that there is a bit of alcohol on the nose.

Popped and poured from a vinturri. The color is like a translucent dark blood(if that makes sense). Cherry cola and raspberry on the nose with some earthiness to go with it. Strawberry tart with some heat at the end. Good pinot for the price.

This is a good Pinot. Had at the Biltmore Estates Hotel in spring so I bought a bottle for posterity. 'Twas nice. Medium body. Classic Pinot. Went well with baked tilapia.

This is a lovely, well balanced pinot in the French style. The wine has a dark red color with minimal to no bouquet. There is a fruit predominant flavor with good tannin and acid back up. The wine is very pleasant (I had it with ground lamp and couscous) and is an excellent wine for the price.

Medium in color with mild aromas of sour berries. Light nectar weight with moderate acidity. Flavors of juicy fruit bubble gum and cranberry are forward. The finish is dry and a bit short.

Mature wine but still plenty of staying power. Tannins in tact fruit developed but still bright.

The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Slow. It smells like Prune, Mushroom, Light toast, Nutmeg, and Apple blossom.

Light to medium body. Smells and taste of cherry cola. Very nice finish with no astringency or bite. Probably want to drink now.

We enjoyed this with friends dining over stuffed port tenderloin. Very good paring. Smooth and fruitforward.

A light pinot. Lots of tart cherry and other red fruits. Some alcohol (heat) on the finish. Just ok........
