Good.

Light and fruity. Missing a little of the earthiness which I prefer from Oregon Pinots. Overall a good value and everyday wine.

Really enjoyable French rose at a great price point. Light, clean with a hint of perfume notes. Will definitely be purchasing more bottles.

This wine has a pleasing earthiness which gives a counter balance to the dried red fruit nose. A bit tight upon opening but began to show its nuances after 20 minutes in the glass. The balanced structure of this wine is what I noticed more than anything and which I believe will allow it to cellar for another 7-10 years. But at this price point it is too tasty to lay down that loing.

Had this wine with friends over dinner. Amazing wine which will just get better over the next 7-10 years. Great structure but showed plenty of fruit to enjoy now. This wine I expect to blow my socks off in several years. So glad we have a number of bottles laying down for later.

Allowed bottle to rest open for 45 minutes before aerating into the glass. First couple sips were a bit tight but showed good balance. 15 mins later this wine began to open up beautifully. The red fruit others have described began to reveal itself. This wine has a elegant smooth quality but the undertone is earthy with that unmistakable Rutherford dust. I think it will continue to drink well or another 2-3 year.

Fruit bomb. Like a cherry jolly rancher.

Lots of dark fruit and cocoa on the nose. Little wet straw and leather gives way to a silky finish. Has been 6 months since I've tasted this wine and it is clearly come into it's own.

Beautifully crafted wine. Typical blend of ripe fruit and barnyard earthiness expected by a top RRV Pinot. I'd give this another 18-24 months before it peaks....but drinking very well now.

Nose of apple and subtle citrus flavors. Showed nice body with a creamy subtle yeast finish. Beautiful starter wine
