Beautiful well conceived bottle of wine. Im not sure if it is just this particular vintage but I was really impressed by this $8.99 bt. Semi full bodied, nice fruit and floral nose. Hints of honey that for some reason reminds me of a Sauternes.

Dark in color going into the glass. Berry-cherry on the nose that comes through on the palate along with a fair amount of acidity, which I was not expecting. Soft, smooth tannins and easily drinkable. Not overly complex, simple and easy to drink if you don't mind the added acidity.

This was a decent pinot at this price point. Nice flavor, no off tastes either, medium bodied. It not so mush it does a lot right, but that it doesn't do things wrong. Perhaps the vintage helped, don't know, but again, if this was offered at a restaurant by the glass, I would consider. Drink now.

Nice QPR at 7.99. Initially a little hot so decanted for 2 hours. We enjoyed with ham dinner. Light red juice with slightly muted fruit flavor. Drink up.

This smoking loon has a yellow tail. Nose: pine & cherry cough syrup. Fleshy, bordering on flabby sweet cherry cough syrup with crushed dried pine needles finish almost saved by a lemon squirt finish. Soft tannins. A first Pinot for someone who's just seen "Sideways" & was embarassed about their merlot.

Tried at a blind wine tasting. Very smoky on the nose. Cherries on the palate with a bad level of acidity, light tannins, no structure to this wine. Poor effort for a Pinot Noir. Would not buy.

Pours an inky purple. Briar patch berry on the nose with hints of wood, pepper and smoke. Medium bodied with loads of fruit.... everything is in balance - beautifully structured. Finish is medium/long and offers hints of chocolate and tart red berry.

Nose consists of burning pine. Tastes like smokey, cherry cough syrup. No complexity. Purchased from Target for $2.54 (clearance item).

Rubbery, leesy aromas and flavors, high amount of fizziness. Tasted like a young barrel sample. After 3 days open, was finally drinkable.
