Nose of sweet fruits with a bit of clove. Getting some similarity in the fruit notes as the '96 Dujac on the nose. Interesting. On the palate, black and red fruits laced with baking spices. Lighter bodied, but with great structure. Smooth, long finish. Beats any other domestic Pinot at it's price. Nothing else is even close.

In the Mouth: light bodied, cherry, berry. Young, but easy to drink. Its hard to find knock your socks off Pinot Noir under $20, this is a very good pinot for the price.

Pale red. Nose of strawberry with more red fruit on the palate followed by heat from the alcohol. Pretty sweet and light. Actually paired nicely with the Forme D'Ambert we ate with it. Not impressed.

This is the same wine that CT lists as Monterray County. Its just that Kenny can't always get the same amount of fruit and therefore has to "lower" the label designation. A bit lower in alcohol and punch than 2007 and fairly tight right now. But nicely done with a strength of character that rest on a transparent fruit character. Extremely good Pinot for $18.99. And I have said this before, I was reminded of a Domaine Leroy wine (perhaps a Volnay?) when drinking the Folk Machine.
