Always a reliable wine in its price range. Cherry cola notes with earthy undertones. Med bodied without alot of depth but a very pleasant bottle of wine.

great high toned fruit and spice fragrant nose upon opening, but it gradually fades away, leaving a not very expressive spice and earth overtones on top of restrained fruit without much size, finish or length. This would have been improved by blending in with a another pinot having more size and character on the palate.

A touch of earth, on the dry side, some burnt toast on the nose. Good, not great. I'm not a fruitbomb guy, but this seemed to be lacking in fruit all around, and could maybe have used a touch more acidity.

Seems to be on the decline. Still quite drinkable, however. Taste of cherries with cola, but more muddled than I recall.

Acid is fading, dark powdery chocolate cherry forest floor nose. Nice balance has arrived in this bottle.
