February 27, 2023 - Notes of raspberry and baked cherries on the nose, rich, big, soft, delicious flavors of plum sauce, hibiscus, cherry cola and spices, quite savoury on the finish, excellent on a cold day, ripe and plump, drinks well now

May 20, 2021 - I now understand there is a market for this type of PN but definitely not my cup of tea. Either way, I saw no finesse in this bottle, just the color threw me off so much. More of a Cab Sauv approach to Pinot Noir, if that makes any sense to anyone.

May 4, 2021 - this blew my mind! Dr Pinot absolutely delivers in this RRV red. This wine is complex and balanced - you will want to drink the whole bottle.
The first thing I noticed was that red fruit: bing cherry ripe strawberry. You get a little black fruit like blackberry. Then comes some of the secondary notes: a touch of oak, forest floor, cola, and vanilla.
The acidity was the thing that immediately caught my attention—beautiful!! Buy again for sure. -

November 2, 2020 - Earthy and cherry notes. Heavier than an Oregon Pinot. Hint of cloves at end.
