Retail $25. It has been a solid five and a half years since I sampled this wine in 2015 and I had forgotten about this second bottle until my father-in-law came over and wanted a Pinot. So being the doting son-in-law, I grabbed this, hoping it had held up over the years (and the move to Houston). It did. Fairly dark in the glass, with mostly dark berry fruit, a touch of earth, and some spice. The palate is much the same with pleasant flavors and fantastic acidity. This is not the most complex Pinot on the market, but it is also far from expensive. Solid.
Dark red with a garnet hue. Strawberry, oak spice, and cinnamon nose. Medium bodied, bing cherries, baking spices, and a long tart finish with some grippy tannins. Nice, but nothing special.

quite good; opened up nicely after 1 hour decant. Fruit forward, initially tight; body is light/medium. Became more medium toward end. Taste of cherries and tart fruit then more ripe strawberries, plum and dark cherries/cola Pretty good for this price point

PNP and then consumed over two hours. Mild and understated in most ways. Dark fruits, and smokey earth flavors. Slightly dry. Short finish. Lacks depth. Reasonable QPR at $20. CT community score of 87 seems about right.

Good flavors of red berries, medium body and well balanced. Very drinkable.
