June 8, 2014 - Plenty of fruit on the front end, mid-weight moderately structured palate and fine tannins on the finish. Nice summer wine, especially when chilled.
February 17, 2014 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit, raspberry and mineral. It tastes like grapefruit and lemon. The body is light/medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity.
February 17, 2014 - Light cherry aromas and flavors. This got a bit bolder and some tart raspberry came out after a couple of hours. Good QPR.
January 18, 2014 - Not as good as earlier bottle.
February 21, 2013 - Fruit forward Pinot. A little different than the typical CA pinots.
February 17, 2013 - A very enjoyable wine. Definitely more than worthy given price. As state in earlier TN's, this PN is more fruit forward than earthy.
January 9, 2013 - Fruity.
August 20, 2012 - First complaint is whole foods ripping me off. Bought for $17 and convinced me on sale. Price still $5 more than other stores. Nice strawberry raspberry nose. Missing the earth/mushroom I like in Cali Pinot. Taste Pleasant but nothing real interesting. Red fruit and clove. Finish is bitter and lousy. Worth $11, not $17.
April 26, 2012 - I completely agree with VO's note below. I would add there is not enough acidic cut to balance it out. I have not written a formal note, but the 2009 had more cut and length and I would give it an 88. A steal for the price if you can still find it. Cheers!
February 18, 2012 - Has some woody, spicy aromas as well as strawberry and raspberry. Flavors follow with hints of baking spice. I found this to have some nice fruit, but it's not exciting or remarkable really. Nice overall, but a tad sour on the finish.
