Not terribly complex and not the most amazing wine I've ever had, but I absolutely love it. It's the "easiest drinking" wine I've ever had. I've probably had 30 bottles of this wine and it never gets old. Fun and well balanced. Nicely done for $12, Tohu. Serve with a cigar and an Arizona evening on the patio.

Drank last week, no notes taken. Purchased at close-out, should have bought a case. Really drinking nicely on PnP and evolving. Pretty focused, transparent fruit.

Slightly more complex than the wonderful 2007 vintage. Nice strawberry, red cherry, earth, "French funk", spice. Good complexity and well balanced at this price point. Very smooth and easy drinking.

Consinstent style of Tohu Pinot with a funky Burgundian nose, pale color. This vintage shows a bit more ripe red fruit in it than previous vintages. Cranberries and craisin prevalent.

Pop and pour - or, more accurately, twist and pour. Good spicy notes along with sweet cherries. Second day, there is a tart ruby red grapefruit component. Quite nice. Light and delicate with tartness and nice fruit. 13% abv.

this is a light and easy-drinkin' pinot with strawberry flavors, and just the slightest whiff of that burnt-rubber nose that i often find in oregon p[inot's. Good, but missing some of the NZ purity I find in other NZ wines.

Pop and pour; but first, did a "Mollydooker shake" and let out some of the trapped gas. Nice bright cherry and strawberry nose. This shows good fruit of berries and some spice. It has a sweet side to it. Light; short finish.

Exceeded expectations. Still vibrant despite its age. Light in color, but ample flavor. A nice earthiness as well as fruit. A very good value at $10.

A tasty clean Pinot. Lighter than the most from Central Otago, but good.

Light nose, light bodied, light everything! Nose a bit earthy for my taste but otherwise lots of cherry and plum. Very easy drinking

Round, light, and easy-drinking with leather and turned soil accents to its red fruit flavors.
