  December 8, 2015 - Very nice! Was afraid this was going to be way past its prime. On the contrary. Very nice fruit. Slightly on the deeper, rich side. Opened up after about 30 minutes and just got better from there.

  August 15, 2009 - Last bottle - very much enjoyed this easy drinker. Nice spice, bright red fruit and cola. Smooth and structured. Agree with other comments this can hold up to grilled meats.

  November 16, 2008 - havent had this for about 6 months. Its a fine drinking pinot. Good dark fruit, well balanced. holds up with a number of grilled dishes. Ive had so many other poor pinots at this price point. thats why I have bought a case of this the each of the past 3 years.

  March 12, 2008 - Looking for something to pop and pour from the cellar at not too high of a price tag. Nice spice, cherry cola, and some warm yeast bread on the nose. Combination of velvet and tartness (bing cherries) on the palate...mouth watering acidity...turns turn yeasty and spicy on the finish. Not the world's most complex wine, but a nice glass of wine.

  March 5, 2008 - Day 1: Unlike other reviewers, this wine did not do it for us. Although the nose was interesting (smelled like fresh baked bread), the taste was off-putting. Can't say exactly why we didn't care for it - just didn't. Score 82
  
  Day 2: Poured remainder into 375 ml bottle and stored over night in the cellar. The next day the nose was still there but the mid-palate was now much more pleasing though the finish was still not to my liking (too tart/orange peel action). Raised overall score to 84.
