This is lovely and uncomplicated pinot noir with an immediately expressive floral nose and a refined and lightly spiced sweetness to the taste: no doubt about the variety and quite Burgundian in style.

Backyard Party (Fremont, CA): Pale ruby color with no bricking; nose has cherry and strawberry fruit with some slight earthy complexity; palate is light bodied, some light tannic structure, good cherry fruit; finish is short-medium length. This is quite good for the price and a great party or everyday wine. 85

(12%) 100% Pinot Noir – Fresh, mineral streaked, wild strawberry flavors that show warm, dark cherries towards the mid-palate. The acidity remains present throughout turning almost dry and crunchy on the finish. Likely not for most (lean and racy) but a whole lot to like (backed by nice fruit) here at the price point ($10) from my perspective. Better than many of the Bourgogne offerings I've had and lighter on the wallet as well...

Great Pinot nose. Medium dark Burgandy color with substantial tart cherry fruit. Substantial acid. Very good deal.
