  Normal California Pinot profile. Drinkable and certainly capable, but not great. Some initial sharp, unpleasant cherry-cola acidity upon opening. That faded after 10 minutes and became raspberry and jammy fruits, with some hickory notes. Not well integrated and flavors sometimes clashed depending on the sip. Nice rust red color.

  cherry cola up front with a bit of acidity at the end but overall a nice Pinot for the money.

  On the nose bunches of blackberry, cloves, and sage. On the palate, a bit lacking on the fruit end of things but really nice secondary flavors and complexity. Finish was long and memorable. Very Good. 87-89 Points.

  Trione Tiny Bottle Tasting; 2/12/2013-2/16/2013 (My Place - Washington, DC): SRP: $35. Pretty ruby color, and you can actually see your fingers through it! Complex aromas of spicy cherries, wild strawberries, clove and vanilla. Full-bodied with mouthcoating and firm tannins, bold but juicy red fruit. Earth and pepper accent the wild cherry and strawberry flavors. A judicious use of oak adds complexity but doesn't overwhelm the other elements. A hefty pinot at its core, but equally bright. Long, fresh finish.
