87-88 pts for this price...gotta love it! Popped and ran through Venturi. Ruby in color. Medium body with distinct cherry fruit. Nice spiciness and good acidity. What's not to like...?

The wine looks Purple colored. The legs are Slow. It smells like and Cherry. It tastes like Toast, Stoniness, and Mineral. The body is Medium/Full. The wine is textured Satin-like. The wine finishes Medium.

Winning! (As said with my best Charlie Sheen impersonation.) I've paid a lot more for wines that I've rated 88. Very good CA Pinot Noir. I'd like to use the latest wine word, "typicity". This has it. Big cherry fruit nose and cola with similar flavors along with some spiciness and substantial acidity. Fair amount of wood in there as well. Maybe this is what gives Charlie Sheen his "tiger blood".

Raspberry with some plank across the palate. Short, a touch harsh, and showing some raw oak as well. Works at $9.
The bulk of the fruit is supposedly from the River Junction area of California. Wherever that is. Bill was told "its a NOT BAD place to grow Pinot Noir."

cherry fruit on the nose with the oak a bit dominate. palate shows ample fruit but and with a rather woodsy express. pinot is rather unforgiving at this $9.99 price.

A well balanced vine with too much of an oaky presence

Red fruits but with a nice animalistic, meaty tone. Simple but enjoyable.

A very good value in a Pinot. Lots of bright fruit (primarily cherry), good acidity.
