December 25, 2007 - superb with Christmas turkey, at first a little flat but opened up beautifully after half an hour. Another Rodney winner.
November 8, 2007 - Very nice enrty level Pinot. Cherry and raspberry on nose. Palate still quite fruit-forward, with toasty and floral notes, soft spice. Good with herb breaded chicken cutlets with parmesan, but really at its best with camembert cheese on crusty baguette. Maturing well , but does not seem to be approaching "over cellared".
October 18, 2007 - OK
April 15, 2007 - Perfectly acceptable bottle of pinot. Ripe red fruits on the nose. Strawberries and cherries along with smokiness on the palate. A little acidity to go well with the salmon. Very mellow, smooth, and fresh.
January 25, 2007 - Strong cherry on the nose. Taste consisted of oak and red berries. Short finish.
January 21, 2007 - Elegant in style with notes of bacon, smoke, earth and dried cherry. Brightly acidic. Finishes very clean. Nicely balanced. Becoming a go to Pinot for me in the sub $20 range.
December 15, 2006 - Improved after being open for a day. One strong single note. Aroma of currants and wood. Aroma flat like the flavor.
December 10, 2006 - Lighter Burgundy-like style. Very nice cherry and strawberry flavors and smoke and oak on the nose. Nice acidity and tannins. Earth notes after about 1 hour in the air.
November 19, 2006 - A bit scorched at first but blew off. Oak aromas almost butterscotch. Rich cherry fruit and grippy tannins. Good now with aeration.
November 19, 2006 - Good for the price.
