As always, a delightful OR Pinot at a crazy good price. Medium bodied, lots of raspberry and earthy autumnal funk. Broad clear rim, medium garnet color, wears its 14% abv lightly. After an hour or so of air, sweet tannins, bramble berry, and classic OR flavors dominate, balanced with bright acidity. Enough heft to pair well with steak au poivre. Looking forward to trying my single vineyard '09s from Vincent.

Great wine. Some earthy funk on the nose after it opens up...berry and spice, a hint of bark, maybe a touch of anise in there as well. Great wine for the price!

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like stoniness, medium toast and vanilla. Cloudy. Light finish

Served no food P&P from cold cellar. Woke up nicely as it warmed. Nice, medium light bodied OR pinot. Fresh red fruit, black tea and earth. This is totally in my wheelhouse. Liking these Amity Hills more than the darker Ribbon Ridge. Oh, btw, fantastic QPR.

Delicious, soft red and darker red fruit fruit with touches of earth on the nose. Forward, but far from sweet and easy drinking. Held up very well over two nights and was a delight to drink. Did I say delicious and a delight to drink?

- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of raspberry, cherry and black olive. It's balanced and has flavours of tea, raspberry, cloves and mushroom with a medium body. Bright texture.

Magnum Madness 2011! (Marshall's place): Pretty light aromas, but they are of pleasing bright berries. The palate is mild, with tart fruit and nice tannins building, though the wine feels a bit thin. Tart finish shows cranberries, with tannins that are fairly sweet.
