We decanted the wine 2 hours before drinking. In appearance, it was clear garnet of medium intensity with strong legs and only a little wateriness at the rim. The nose was slight; faint undifferentiated red fruit with hints of wood and pepper. On the palate, it was dry with medium acidity, smooth tannins, medium body with alcohol in balance. The fruit was not forward and is probably fading now but was still sufficient to please. Medium-plus length in the finish. We drank it with a pork casserole which it complemented well. Strangely, it wasn’t so good with the cheese that followed.

Subdued, somewhat meaty nose. Doesn't really have a lot of what I would consider "canonically PN" characteristics. Pleasant enough, but for $20 not a great value.

This was great, dark cherry and strawberry fruit, a well judged oak presence in the background and a soft but refreshingly acidic profile. Not at all confected or artificial as some new world pinots can be. Respectable but very easy drinking. Great value too. I must buy more. 90

Outstanding qpr! A classic pinot nose of cranberries, pomegranate,cherries, aromatic herbs(rosemary?), chocolate, new leather,toastiness , and a hint of sous-bois . There's plenty of mouth-watering acidity, and a smooth palate offering rich flavours of cherry compote,redcurrants, and stalky flame grapes. Highly enjoyable easy drinking pinot.

At $15 seems like a good deal, but st $18 a bit expensive. Smoky flavor with balanced fruit and tart/citrus finish
