Really enjoyed this Pinot. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been drinking wine much lately, but I found the simplicity, fruit-forward, and clean finish to be just right. I think it was $12.99 at Prestige.

Have to agree with @jcbrand on this one...very young and very restrained. We let it decant on its own for more than 80 minutes, and we had high hopes for this bottle. The restraint of the flavors was almost overwhelming, made somewhat more curious by the expectations that were set a bit higher by the bouquet.
It must be too young; we're at least interested enough to seek out a '08 or '09 to compare & contrast.

A pretty serious fruit bomb...although after it had a chance to mellow after being open for 2+ hours, it was far more service-able.
