Black cherries and tea in wonderful balance. It has a mouthfeel that really stands out for me and makes me want more! Sipped over two days with no fall-off in quality.

I'm a big fan of Eric Kent Pinots having bought them over the past few vintages. I found the 08 RRV to be enjoyable but not quite up to the standards of the Stiling Vineyard releases I've had in the past. The flavor profile was very appealing to me- red cherries and some raspberry wrapped in spice. But it seemed to lacking in acidity and the finish was a bit clipped. I know I tried this way before I probably should have and perhaps I'll see improvement in coming bottles.

To be clear, it was an enjoyable Pinot and I'm picking nits. I look forward to trying again in a year or two.

Very enjoyable over two nights. Bright cherry and spice with underlying spice. Nicely balanced. Held up very well over the two nights.
