  February 28, 2015 - Out of the bottle it was a bit confused, but aerated and decanted for at least an hour which improved it. nose remained a bit muted, but light acidity is still there. a good food wine. paired well with sausage ragu and polenta. wouldn't hold out too much longer in drinking it.

  February 17, 2013 - Bought this because of press and hype about this VA Pinot Noir. While not a bad effort, this wine does not perform close to the $42 price point.
  
  Sharp bitter cherry dominated on Day 1. On Day 3 the wine had softened considerably with notes of cherry, tea, and earth. Light bodied with a shorter finish.

  January 16, 2013 - Ankida's efforts are admirable and this is a very drinkable Pinot Noir for Virginia; however for $38, it is an uninteresting wine.

  January 14, 2013 - Sweet blackberry aromas with hints of vanilla spice and crushed chalk. On the palate it was paradoxically light bodied and low in alcohol, while simultaneously feeling extracted/sweet in its dark pinot fruit profile. Semi-firm tannins frame the short-medium finish of tea, gravel, and tart dark berries. While easily drinkable, this is simply generic, therefore falls way below its price point. R&M 80
