seemed better this time. Lots of bouquet. Mid body. Darker fruit than I remember in the last bottle--I was thinking the last one was light cherry. This is dark cherry and maybe some other dark fruit.

almost as before. good sipping pinot or with salmon etc better cold, which seemed to bring out the nice acidity and tartness that I like in a pinot. At cellar temp it lacked to lack the crispness and tartness. But very good after an hour it he fridge. Even seemed better the next day, from the fridge. Maybe should be opened early?

I gave it an 89, even though the cherry flavors were a little lighter than I usually like (I like dark cherry and fruits). It has a LOT of fruit and is nicely tart (I like tart and dislike any sweetness in my pinots). I gave it an 87 the first day -- I opened it pretty much right out of my 60 degree cellar. It was considerably better the second day, and after being chilled some. Next time try 2 hours open and in fridge for 1 hour. No hurry to drink--it is full of fruit. Finish is short but right on for a tart pinot.

light body. bright primarily cherry fruit -- good for sipping or with light food. Really nice. I like my pinots medium or fairly light and with good tartness and acidity. This has perfect tartness but is a little lighter than I prefer...bu for the price.. a very very nice pinot for my tase. is right in my wheelhouse. ready now no hurry.

Califorrnien - the sun is there - dark rather powerfull pinot noir - where the heat and the sun in very clear - acidity medium and tannins medium - - lots of mature black fruit - black cherry is rather clear - still an easy drinkable wine that I had without food. It is an okay wine
