May 6, 2012 - Color is very light violet as expected
Nose is a tart cherry,very Pinot.
taste at first is very tart cherry but after breathing it mellows to smooth strawberry, cherry
Finish is a nice smooth cherry but not tart -

July 28, 2011 - I like the Willamette Pinot because to the thin delicate nose and taste. The more expensive Pinot's get very jammy and complex. But the Castle Rock is a good solid offering with a nice berry taste with an oak lingering flavor. Nose is light and slightly spicy but not over powering. Always a good West coast Willamette Pinot and a very nice price.
