Similar tastes to my other notes, different pairing. Shared with family and friends and a Christmas Eve dinner of Tur-Duck-En. Sad to see my last bottle go, but everyone enjoyed it.

I am again very satisfied with this wine. Similar to my note on 22 August 2013 with the very same pairing. I decanted again, but this time for about two hours, with very pleasing results. Lots of berry in the nose, and a good amount on the palate as well. Delicious.

Shared this bottle with my fiancée last night over a dinner of perfectly cooked pork tenderloin. Excellent pairing. I have to say that I was impressed by this wine. Lots of berry in the nose and on the palate, with some vanilla thrown in there, too. A touch of spice, but certainly not too spicy by any means. I decanted for about an hour prior to dinner, and I thought it opened up nicely. It was delicious, and gone much too fast. Thankfully, I have three more bottles! Great QPR, also.

A WoMC-V selection, the nose has raspberry and spice. The wine itself is medium bodied, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of raspberry jam, plum. There is plenty (too much) of oaky vanilla but the wine succeeds as a decent Pinot in spite of it. The balance improved on the second day with less of a vanilla face-slap. Overall, the style reminds me of the Mark West Pinot . . . but this one is much better.

Very light in color, thin tasting with a lot of sweet berry flavors, far too sweet for our taste, sugary aftertaste

Nice flavors with a little spice/pepper.A good value Pinot for bargain hunters in the under $15 category.

Smooth, fruity. Nice after taste. May be better cooler.
