March 19, 2013 - Cloudy purple-red, fairly light in color. Spot on dusty cherry Oregon pinot nose. No weight at all on the palate, though, and not much fruit. A bit of the cherry right at the start, but then it fades into a non-existent finish. I popped and poured. Maybe it will get better with some air.
color 3/5
nose 8/10
palate 13/20
balance 5/10
finish 2/5
September 26, 2012 - Bright cherry notes not very structure in the palate, alcohol showing a little. Finish was short. However the nose is worth the price.
September 26, 2012 - Pomegrant and orange, zesty, great stuff.
May 18, 2012 - Sweet pinot spice, much better than I remember. Works at $21 or so.
April 6, 2012 - Garnet colored fresh fragrance of apricot, raspberry, and strawberry. Dominant flavor is strawberry. Light to medium bodied with a round and smooth texture and medium finish.
December 16, 2011 - Great value for Pinot Noir under $20. Day 3. Soft, yet elegant, a very caressing fruit character on the palate. Sweet fruit, soft earth, a touch of brown sugar. No doubt about it.
October 28, 2011 - A bright cherry red Pinot Noir from the Umpqua Valley, this wine has brisk nose of smoke, vanilla wafer , loamy earth and tar. The mouth feel is a medium bodied wine with a nice raspberry and strawberry with a tart middle and very soft acidic finish it’s refreshing and refined.
