RUSSK Very drinkable. An Oregon Pinot I would repeat, especially at a Rest't. Nice balance btwn tannin, sweetness, aromatics and tartness. This bottle was a bit beyond it's yrs, but only slightly showed it. Would buy again.

Bohemian Garnet color. The nose is deceptive; light, 'cheap' fruit suggest this is a low end Californian pinot.
Fruit returns on the palate, cherry, plums, rhubarb ?, but now the layering is quite impressive. A little earthy towards the finish, some tannins there still. Not a superb pinot, but quite a good value at $ 13.

Nice inexpensive pinot. First night had nice plum and cherry flavors. Second night not as much, tended to become bitter in the finish.

Very tight the first night....improved the next evening. Developed a nice cherry nose; short finish however.
