March 30, 2013 - A forward, full bodied style pinot with delicious fruity palate and balance. Ending with spices. May improve with air but pop and pour was alright.
December 31, 2012 - This vintage is far better than the 2010.
November 19, 2012 - Black cherry and flint!! Yummy!
September 19, 2012 - I am giving this 4.5 stars because it is difficult to find a good Pinot in the $20 range. Full bodied, jammy, floral aroma, peppery / oakey flavor make this a fairly complex Pinot. I tend to like my Pinot Noir on the full bodied end of the spectrum. This may be a little much for those who like a light more nuanced Pinot. Goes great with meat and even holds \up to fairly potent cheese.
July 29, 2012 - Oh the complexities of a good Pinot. Didn't let it breathe long enough the first night, but now it's at full flavor. Yum.
March 18, 2012 - PnV w/dinner, & then aerated for 1.5 hrs. after dinner. Similar TN as 1st bottle I had w/added hint of chocolate. (88+)
February 11, 2012 - Winemaker: known for its big, rich tannins and very dark color, this is a remarkable food wine PAIRING: cheeses such as Camembert, Fontina, semi-hard Gouda, or your own selection in the fresh goat's milk catagory.
January 11, 2012 - ($22) Appearance: Ruby; Aroma: Fruit, strawberry, raspberry; Taste: Robust, violet and wild cherries, velvety texture
January 2, 2012 - Deep red color; mild nose; subtle fruit flavors; light peppery finish
December 27, 2011 - Definitely in the "Drink now" category. Loads of acidity and fruit, a very California pinot.
