For the price, this is a very good pinot. Fruity, more balanced than the 2008. Longer finish with a bit more fruit on it. A little heavy for a pinot, but very drinkable.

Medium ruby. Nicely pronounced red berries on the nose, strawberries, raspberries, some floral notes/roses. Fruity on the palate, some white pepper. Good acidity. Nice wine for everyday consumption, good value for 12 bucks.

Ruby claret color. Savory nose with soil, some barnyard and vanilla. Licorice and raspberry flavor with an interesting hint of orange citrus. Medium tannins. Interesting Pinot, especially at this price point, and serves its purpose well on a weeknight. Overall enjoyable but just a bit cloying and lacking in depth to garner a higher rating.

V. closed on opening, but becomes a sell-structured light red that has some varietal qualities; with more acidic bite, it would be quite appealing; ready
