November 14, 2010 - Good Pinot for the price. A bit thin on the palate with mild smokey overtones and a short finish. If you like fruit forward pinots, then this is not for you.

June 2, 2010 - light thin colour, typical for pinots. Medium nose with mineral tinge. Enjoyable. Medium fruit up front with continued mineral over notes. Pretty well balanced, but a little more oak. Finish is nice, but brief.

April 19, 2010 - This wine had a light strawberry red color and a delicate viscosity. There was a lot going on on the nose, with a core of sweet, red fruit and multiple layers of just ripe strawberry, a faint rosemary character, a bit of paprika, and a curious shisha (the sweet, syrupy tobacco smoked in Hooka pipes) component. The taste is bright and fresh with cherry candy, then some soft woodsy, mossy tones, and a delicate herbal finish. This is a fairly straightforward pinot with pleasant brightness and a nice light to medium body, nothing spectacular but a well made, easy drinking and friendly wine.
Pairing: This would go great with anything from pork tenderloin to salmon (one of my personal favorite dishes with light pinots like this.)
