    November 27, 2012 - Very earthy with a medium body. Nice food wine. Solid value.

    February 16, 2012 - Lots of smell of berry and medium color. Fresh and thirst quenching cold climate pinot. Uncomplicated with super drinkabilty. Very good QPR.

    February 3, 2011 - At first this smelled like dog poop on the sole of a new tennis shoe. That kinda blows off and there is some cherry coming out. Flavors of tar and cranberry juice, which seem to drop off quickly. Tastes manufactured. ($10)

    June 12, 2010 - Needed a bunch of air to get rid of the alcohol dominated somewhat one-dimensional oaky-spicy-hot flavor right out of the bottle. It had a spicy, tart cherry juice flavor that began to develop quickly with air but never turned into a great Pinot.
    Day2. Disappointed that it didn't blossom into a more fruit driven wine. Still tastes very alcoholic (had to look at the bottle. It is 14% but I expected to see 16.5%) and oak driven with a weak mid palate. This isn't a terrible wine for $10 and keeping that in perspective, I would give it an 86-87. I'm going to let my other bottles age for a year and try one again.

    February 15, 2010 - Smells like oak, tastes like oak. But what's behind that is interesting enough not to completely demonize it. But I would not choose this again.
