What a disappointment. Most unmemorable pinot I've ever had. Can't believe I paid $16 for this bottle. Mark West or Montes is much better for less money.

The bottle that I drank had a very weak smell and a taste to match. The taste was very tart and had an acidic carryover. The oak wasn't strong either. This is pretty consistent with how I remember my first bottle to be.

opened for about 40 minutes and ran each glass through the vinturi before drinking. Oak seems to be overbearing on both the nose and the palate on this wine. It also seems to be a bit thinner than I remember. got some strawberries, and vanilla on the nose, not much on the palate.

Strawberries, not ripe cherries plus other red fruit and lots of acid. Not memorable at all. Not terrible, just not that good.

Great nose of blackberries, cola and oak which carry over to the palate. Nicely balanced, great under $20 Pinot.
