Almost a slight carbonated taste in POP. Two days after vacu vin and that went away but still just blah. But that carbonated feel was really bad.

Better next day. Needed time to open up. Not as good as I thought it would be

The wine has high acidity. The body is light. The wine finishes short. It tastes like pear and apple. The wine has smooth texture. Just average

Ok for the price. Needed some air but next day after vacuvin started unraveling

Just missing that fruitiness expected from Oregon Pinot.

Great nose 2nd day. A bit astringent initially. Never smoothed our but still enjoyable.

Too sweet for my tastes. Ruined its complexity.

Pop and pour okay. Little body. Next door lost structure.

Very smooth. 2 days after opening smoother but a slight yeasty smell buy no effect on taste

Never opened up first night. Vaccuvin failure and noticed on third day. Never had a chance to enjoy it. Rated it based on other reviews.

Definitely give it Tom to open up. So good on the second day

Light cherry. Mid pallets smooth and easy to pair with food. Even better on 2nd day.

Bright. Cherry. Some earthiness.

9/15/2015 - JasonA wrote:

Just an awesome wine. PPP pour through aerator and what a pairing with steak and garlic mashed potatoes. Chocolate and cherry. Tanins were really integrated and made this really smooth. Two glasses knocked me down though. Finished rest 4 days later after vacuvin and just lost that smoothness a touch. One of my favorites in last 2 years. Had a vertical of this and this was best one. (2002-2006)

Really nice! Lemon with mineral palette. No issues.

Not too sweet. Could use a bit more acid. Peach some apricot. Med body.

Had with roasted chicken and veggies. Great balance. Would buy again.

10/11/2014 - JasonA Likes this wine:

Decent for a 9 dollar bottle. Was not as a good pairing with sausage and mariinara sauce/pasta dish as I would have hoped. No specific tasting notes, as my smell was at about 70-80% at the time.

Best of the three rose I had drank in last 6 months. Bright but smooth. Great with the baked chicken.

Pop and pour on valentines with filet and lobster and was awesome but not used to the worker fruits on the first taste. Two days later and still just as good if not better. Taste lingers really long and tannins were smooth!!

Really good white wine. Great by itself or with food like with our fish. Still good 3 days later but only adter first removing from vacu vin. 2nd glass started to loose its character. Best white ive had in a long time

Had this at a byob pizza place. The cups where clear plastic so not sure if this effected the taste but just not impressed with this.

No formal tasting notes. Just noticed that after 5 days vacu vin with just enough for one glass it was just as good as day 2

7/8/2013 - JasonA wrote:

First night pop and pour the first glass had a strong oak/alcohol taste that was almost too bearable. After it opened up for almost an hour it was a good wine. The oak was gone and i enjoyed several glasses. The next night after a vacu vin the oak/alcohol was back and twice as bad. I couldnt even drink it. Not sure what happened here. I see others have been all over the place on this wine. Bottle variations much?!?!

Dry tannins and medium body. Great nose that the taste didnt live up to. Just not my cup of tea. Disappointed

Off of pnp had a smooth taste not harsh tannins as some suggested. Little spice up front but faded fast after first initial flavors

4/20/2013 - JasonA wrote:

First white cdp for me. After pnp the first half glass just had a wild taste like all the flavors where on overdrive. After i let it breathe some and the next day as well after vac-u-vin all was in line. High acidity. Pear and apple flavors. Smoothes out in mid palette. But more of a food wine than a sipper

3/30/2013 - JasonA wrote:

The previous reviews are right on. On initial opening I caught some barnyard but it went away as it had time to breathe. I liked its subtleness although the steak I had was overpowering it. On the 3rd day after vacuvin it was a tad more fruit forward, but the flavor didnt linger as long on the mid palette.

Didnt let this breathe enough. It could gave been lots better with our steak if i would have. The half glass that was left next evening was great. Sediment present
