Fruit on the nose with hints of pepper, oak. Nice thin red/blush colouring. Not strong at all, mildy earthy. I don't think its past its prime but it will be done momentarily. Pairs excellently with soft brie type goat cheese or mild blue.

The wine is clear and bright with a pale ruby colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, with medium- intesity aromas of fresh red cherries, tomato, liquorice and white pepper. It's dry in the mouth with a medium refreshing acidity, low soft rounded tannins, medium alcohol, medium- body and medium intensity flavours of sour cherries, tomate, liquorice and mint. Medium- finish. It's an acceptable quality wine, it's somewhat thin in the mouth, lacking body even for a pinot noir, the fruit aromas are clearly unripe and it's rather short in the mouth. However at least is fresh and drinks well with food. Drink now, it does not have enough structure and concentration to be aged.

Some apparent juicy appeal. A fine wine to sip, but boring after one glass. I wanted to reach for something else after the first sip. We found ourselves done with the bottle before we realized there was time to even think about it. Wispy and not worth remembering in the end.

Not much from the nose which probably explains why there is not a lot of flavor. It has a nice mouth feel though. Will probably spend more for my next Pinot.

Non-offensive, average Pinot noir. Nose has a little tobacco and weak fruit. A tiny bit of bitterness on the tongue. Good wine for the price, but nothing special.

Probably about what we expected. There is some pure Pinot aroma ans flavor, but not very much. It is very clean, the flavors are easily distinguished, they just are not very intense. The color is darker than I remember from previous vintages. The nose is Pinoesque with wet bark and a touch of the barnyard behind the dark cherry, blackberry, and alcohol. The fruit makes a very short entrance, letting us know it is there, then disappears. Pretty thick mouth feel for a Pinot. There are some of those off flavors, like molasses, and a slight bitterness. Still very acceptable for the price point.

Surprisingly good for the price. Earthy with a medium body and a partially dry finish. Not extremely complex but very drinkable.

Light body with a bit too much heat, there's not a lot to this wine, some red fruit and dirt, the balance is just okay.

The last sip was much better than the first. Give time to breathe and you'll notice a big change for the better.

Fairly light Pinot without much body. Some bright red fruit, cherry, strawberries, and a bit of acidity.
