Dark deep red. Nose had cherry and cranberry and a little menthol. Taste had cherry earthy leather and coffee. Smooth and balanced a good food wine would serve with seafood

Dark red color. Medium body but light mouthfeel. Nose of black fruit with the slightest touch of alcoholic heat. Starts off smooth with some fruit, mid-palate brings some acidity, and a relatively long finish is punctuated with a note of spice from the syrah in the blend.

Given other reviews, had low expectations which were easily surpassed. Very smooth, not too fruit forward but still present. Good balance. Not a long finish but pleasant to the palate. Would definitely drink another bottle if we had one.

Was a bit disappointed with this. Did not represent Flowers as I know it. I'll take this as a one off and still consider Flowers as a solid Pinot house.

Ruby color. Raspberry nose. Tastes of black cherry, blackberry, pepper and earth. Very different than the 2005 and less Pinot like. Medium bodied. Good acidity. Rich finish with a little heat peeking through as it warms in the glass which is surprising with its 14.1% alcohol level.

WOnderful nose of cherries and flowers; a touch of smokiness as well. The flavors are extremely fruity somewhat reminding me of rose champagne, but not so dry. Not a particularly complex wine and maybe a notch down from previous vintages. Quited enjoyable.

Easy drinking pinot. I can see this as more of a cocktail wine than paired, however. Strange blend of pinot, syrah, and chard...eh, nice enough.

"Wines for the Holiday Table" Tasting (Fine's Cellar, Scottsdale): Raspberry, cherry and earth. Good depth but unfortunately a touch hot on the finish.

Solid Pinot with some added flesh form the mixture. Not profound but good to drink.

Solid cherry and strawberry flavors with some mild acidity. Smooth on the palate with a hint of smokiness.
