April 8, 2012 - Not great, not horrible. Probably a little past its prime.
Wouldn't buy again.
December 24, 2010 - This bottle was definitely showing some age. Dull ruby wine with brick on the edges. The nose was muted with cherry and a medicinal note. In the mouth, tastes of cherry and a very faint hint of oak. More of the same on the short finish. Suspect that the bottle was not stored under acceptable condition, and was served at someone else's party.
January 3, 2009 - Taste somewhat weak but went well with chix cacciatore. For the price went well with the dinner but not very full bodied. Smell of spice and pepper (slight).
September 14, 2008 - Nose is shows moss, earth and a hint of spice. Palate is more bell pepper than fruit.
March 29, 2008 - Very average bottle of wine, tones of cherries but nothing special about this Pinot.
July 20, 2007 - Long legs in glass. Very evident heat both on nose and mouth. Too young. Aromas of raspberry jam and cumin. Good acidity in mouth, with flavors of plum. Very oaky and long finish.
April 27, 2007 - This was a great smooth light wine with soft berry flavors.
March 16, 2007 - It smells like pinot. It tastes like pinot. It feels like pinot. But nothing else. There's not much besides cherry and cola notes. One dimensional, straight forward, light body. A few days ago I had La Crema Pinot Noir and it was definitely worth $5 more. Nothing really wrong with this wine but there's a lack of originality, definition and identity in this wine. For a $10 pinot it's not bad, it just isn't great.
February 23, 2007 - Couleur pâle, comme tout bon pinot qui se respecte. Nez intéressant, d'intensité un peu plus élevée que la moyenne. Il pinote davantage que bien des vins vendus à ce prix. Fleurs, pain grillé, épices douces et cerises se partagent la palette des arômes. La bouche, quoique relativement gouleyante, manque un peu de souplesse, et ses saveurs (un peu moins complexes qu'au nez) sont davantages expressives qu'en laisserait croire le nez. Ce n'est pas un vin à conserver longtemps. 1 an ou 2 de plus au maximum.
February 2, 2007 - eh. Not worth the price.
