December 21, 2012 - Not a great nose, light red color, thin, water downed taste.
The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like alcohol. It tastes like and Mineral. The body is Light.
Yet another reason not to drink Pinot's that aren't from Oregon. -

August 9, 2012 - Decent glugger with some echoes of Burg fruit, crunchy red berries and a touch of forest floor. Lacking in charm and intensity however, and hardly represents value for money. Drink now

July 5, 2012 - Nose: a little skunky, cranberries Palate: light, fruity,alcohol noticeable (I know it's 12.5%) I feel that the acidity stands out just a little too much. I'm reminded of a very good vinegar. It's quite pleasant drinking though.

February 23, 2012 - I bought this for $14 and unscrewed/poured. This Pinot has a fairly clear ruby red color with a pale color depth. There is a moderate aroma with a youthful to slightly aged development. The aromas are fruity-like that are pleasant. It has a medium sweet taste with light body and crisp acidity. Low level tannins with good balance. The flavor intensity is moderate with cherry, strawberry and rose delicate flavors. Soft and simple. The finish is medium and I find this glass to be quite enjoyable.
