PnP and sipped without food. Had a bit of a smoky taste on the attack, and a bit of a bitter finish. Mrs. Coupe had similar notes, neither of us really enjoyed it

I have yet to find a Pinot Noir under $30 that makes me think cheaper versions of this grape are worth it. It’s good for the price, but it still tastes like cheap wine. Lots of ripe cherry and strawberry fruit here, which is impressive, and this tastes like Oregon Pinot, which is, again, a good thing, but the flavors are muddled together, the alcohol is out of balance, and the finish is a bit sharp. I get some some subtle flavors of violet and wet earth, but it’s all overpowered by that cheap tar-like flavor typical of wines at this price point. It should compete well with other $20 entry level Pinot Noirs from Oregon, but don’t expect more.

Hot roses and raspberries. Had it couple years ago, improved for the better. Warm fruit.

Excellent for $20. Kept corked at 60 degrees.
@PnP: Perfect for glass after work and then with dinner.
@24 hrs: Softer, all aspects bit more integrated, delicious and easy to down another glass.
@48 hrs: Still in great shape, another glass gone.
@72 hrs: Champ of a wine. Notes of leather have emerged, fruit fading, now has a semi dry finish.
@96 hrs: Fading in regards to all aspects, very calm, still holding on. Finely drinkable, enjoying a night cap.
