Notes of light berry, cherry, and floral on the nose. Flavors are red currant, light raspberry, and a hint of hibiscus. The fruit flavors are on the thin side, and overall the wine is not well balanced, being overly acidic. Short finish just seems to get even more harsh. Least favorite of the six Pinot's our eight member panel tasted this evening.

Another moderately priced Pinot Noir that leaves a good account of itself. Sticks out as pretty worthy in it's price range. There is some real Pinot character here. Just a little earthy. Has some mineral and graphite on the palate. Not quite medium bodied. Commendable, not overpowering, but almost soft bing cherry fruit, with some strawberry and cranberry. I'm getting a little heavy toast oak, that is very slightly bitter. Very cherry and cranberry on the finish.

A little bashful upon opening, but after just a little time it delivers round candied fruit backed by vanilla. Scores points for revealing a variety of aromas as it evolves. However, it lacks acidity, depth, and length of finish so it's hard to be taken seriously. But as a daily drinker it may deserve consideration in your line-up. At least once.

Very enjoyable Pinot. Semi-dry. Easy drinking. Paired well with steak.

Fairly simple wine, cherries and a bit of spice. Actually liked it better chilled than room temp. For the price, it is a bargain.
