  June 29, 2017 - As far as budget Pinots go, you could do a lot worse. Slightly reductive, vegetal seeming nose that doesn't bode well, but once you take a sip it clearly is identifiable as Pinot. Fruity and a bit boozy, but with some acid.

  The wine has medium acidity.

  March 12, 2016 - Surprised at some of the reviews on this. Drank it over three days. I did not find it to be candied or sweet at all, but rather meaty for a Pinot. Certainly not light bodied either. Of course, it is lighter than a Syrah or Cab, but still quite full figured and seductive. A bit funky on the nose with earth, mushroom, and barnyard aromas, but not overpowering, just enough to peak my curiosity. Meaty flavors of bacon, olives, and some bing cherry thrown in to add some brightness. Was a gift, so not sure about the price point, but I really like it.
