(Hirsch Bohan Dillon Pinot Noir) #1; COLOR-medium; NOSE-earthy; some nice red fruit and bacon fat; PALATE-the fruit is exploding on the mouth; a hint of leather; the flavor is quite nice and pretty well made for the price point; drinking quite well; the alcohol is nicely contained for such a young Pinot; this is spectacular for the price point; showing great fruit; GV-90

this is a fun wine with a burgundian lighter style of winemaking that brings out the richness of pinot noir without the heaviness of other styles.

Beautiful ruby color, smoky but soft and refined. Absolutely hitting its stride.

Cloudy red out of the bottle. Campfire and some wet leaves come through on the nose. Popped and poured and followed for a couple hours. There's definitely quite a bit of smoke in the mouth but the fruit is there in a complementary sense. Fairly light-bodied with light-medium tannins. Didn't change much in the time we drank it. If you're sensitive to smoke steer clear. If you're not, this is a perfectly enjoyable wine for those seeking to avoid full-bodied new world pinots.

A gift from a friend who is ITB on the french side of things. Popped and poured. Right out of the gate, you notice that there is none of that cola/funk that is so common in Cali pinots. For me, that's a plus. Thne principal flavor components are spice and minerals, with fruit being a secondary component. There's pepper and allspice with cherry in the background and maybe a tiny bit of strawberry even further behind that. My personal preference is a bit more fruit and that would bring this wine into the outstanding category. Whoever wrote the note in CT that there are $10 Cali pinots that are as good needs to get his taste buds checked for diminished functionality. This is not a fruit bomn, not that I dislike fruit bombs, but its got nice balance and a very pleasant overall taste profile with no negative characteristics.
