I thought the bottle might have been corked because of an initial funk and the signs of seepage however it was perfect post a little breathing time. A purple red color in the glass. A nice bouquet of aroma up front post blow off with distinct cherries, cola, and a hint of some mild oak and smoke. Once again on the palate, you see the Bing cherry red fruit promptly with slight accents of cola, coffee/chocolate, spice box, and some simple and mild oak. Great popular super bowl party wine. Highly recommended. Glad I have a few more bottles and hope they hold up through the end of next year but I may finish them first.

Medium intensity aromatics showing strawberries and light ciniman spice. Acids dominate the balance but could be good for cellaring. Some smokey essence from toasted oak. Good but not great!

A disappointment. I was looking for something richer in a Pinot from the Russian River Valley. Medium red color to the rim, youthful in appearance. Simple nose, Pinot typical mostly bright red cherry fruit. Also simple in taste, medium mouth feel mostly red cherry no complexity with a medium to short finish. Ripe tannins. Decent red wine to enjoy with roasted fowl. I'm not a big fan of BR Cohn although I have enjoyed the Olivet Lane cab.

See previous notes. Just one bottle left. Extremely pleasant.

Berry flavor. Not as much of a musty nose as other Pinot Noirs but it's BR Cohn and that says it all.

Quite a bit of acidity. Toasty, spicy. The fruits aren't as pretty as Russian river's best.

Very complex. Tons of fruit/flavors. Great pinot.
