  August 7, 2014 - Black cherry and maybe a little pomegranate fruit. Dark ruby color and smooth, but not quite silky, mouth feel. Some root beer and lots of earthiness. That eartth dominates the finish and it was nice with a mojo pork risotto.

  April 15, 2014 - Dark ruby, fresh earth on the nose. Palate is all black cherry, followed by some earth notes. Good wine, drinking well now, unlikely to improve further.

  April 19, 2013 - The more I have of RRV pinot noir the more I realize that it is not a style that I care for. This bottle was too sweet for my tastes and the alcohol, labeled at 14.7, was really noticeable. Could not finish the bottle.
