G20; 4+8.5+4*+8*+8*+4+4; Color is somewhat cloudy, but still bright ruby with no rust; great aromas of raspberry, strawberry and flavor similar but with added cherry finish; balance is somewhat acidic, but not distracting, rather, it is mouth watering. Interestingly, mouth aeration dramatically smooths out this wine. Very fresh and vibrant. Seems to be holding up well, but the cloudiness would concern me if I was cellaring further.

Some folks called this wine tired, but I found the aromas to be fresh, delicious, and vibrant. Nice and soft texture on the palate, with lean, tart and bitterly puckering tannins. Very lean finish. Definitely light on the fruit compared to the others in the lineup tonight.

Cranberry, red cherry, strawberry, licorice on the nose following on with a nice earthy leathery flavored palate. Very fresh and to the point. One of the more Burgundian Pinots I've tasted from the 2002 vintage.

Has the candied cherry flavor and the usual more intense Brick House aroma, but not much else on the finish; don't count on this getting any more depth over time; drink now

Nicely balanced Oregon Pinot with a pleasant candy cvherry nose and bright cherry/raspberry fruit balanced by a touch of oak. Drinking very nicely now.

Light reddish/Orange and a bit murky.
