Slight bricking now showing around the edge. Open and expressive nose of cola, mixed berry and maybe some smoke or forest floor. Palate starting to feel a little thin and watery. Mostly good balance, but a touch to the acidic side.

Served on draft at Grato in West Palm Beach. Nose is earthy and a bit musty and not too much else present. Palate is a bit more expressive, with somewhat non-descript fruits and pleasant earthiness. Still not the most interesting but it's an easy sipper and paired well with our pasta so not the worst choice in the world.

Very old world out of the bottle. Slight browning on the rim. Wonderful open nose of cola, au jus, very mild forest floor. Palate of aged / dried bright red fruit. This was tasted side by side with 2012 2012 WesMar RRV. The Acrobat tasted older than WesMar. Over 2 days, the Acrobat faded more quickly than the WesMar. I think the '13 Acrobat is a great wine to drink now and short term, but not truly ageworthy. Still a great and interesting wine for the price.

Great PN. Old world style. Slight browning around the rim. The aroma and palate changed with each and every sip over 4 days. It was definitely more intense upon open than on subsequent days, but it still was enjoyable the entire time. Reminded us of what William Selyem used to be, but a little more rustic. Great wine especially for the price.

Part of a 3-pinot flight enjoyed at Lounge 5280 in terminal B at Denver International Airport. A medium red in color, the nose features candied cherry, strawberry, cranberry and cola. A medium body, very juicy, delicious if a bit simple. This doesn't quite coat the palate like the 2013 Ponzi Tavola alongside. Nonetheless, very nice on this bright but cold morning!

A light style but with bright red berries on nose and palate. Balanced with some earthy/mineral elements. A great wine for guests who like lighter wines or for consuming before a meal. Also worked with light appetizers. I would buy again. Xmas eve dinner.

Distinctive notes of earth, namely mushroom, moss, and forest floor. Clean palate, medium finish, strong typicity, but otherwise unremarkable. Quite similar to Block Nine. The kind of wine I would like to serve at a dinner party.

Red fruit of cherry, raspberry, and even strawberry. Some spice and tea notes, but little earthiness. Nice, fairly simple pinot... that tastes like pinot. Good value.

Lots of pinot spices on the nose with red bright fruit in the form of strawberries and raspberries. Slender, round and quite generous on the palate. Tasty wine, but I've would have wanted a bit more structure and firmness for this to really shine.

Really interesting. Black pepper on nose and especially on palate. Light style. Short palate, but nicely focused and structured. Really like this wine as a house PN.

Smooth tannins, earthy and spicey. Has a weight that stands up to grilled meats, unlike some other pinots. Overall a very enjoyable wine and a good value for money.

Cherry on the nose with a light cherry flavor with a hint of vanilla. Completely different than most of the Cali Pinot's i've had recently. There is no tartness and it's quite refreshing. I wish more Pinot's were made in this style.

Pretty decent Pinot nice balance and some complexity. Would buy again and age a year. It was good tonight but I think a bit of development is called for.

This light ruby Pinot offers aromas of raspberries, strawberries, coriander and allspice. Light-to-medium-bodied, fresh and seamlessly alcoholic (13.5%), it delivers red fruit and spice flavors which build throughout the middle palate. Medium in length and crisp on the finish, there is no denying that this well-priced wine represents screaming value. Drink now-2017.
