  Meeting of Minds OG Crew (Craig's Place): Popped and poured; consumed over a four hour period. This was the biggest surprise of the evening, for me. Not necessarily because it was so brilliant at being a Pinot Noir...rather because it had the stuffing to keep up with the other wines we consumed throughout the evening. Plenty of fresh, red fruit...which I find pretty typical for RRV. Pretty solid value if you like this sort of version of PN. Burgundy lovers should probably look elsewhere.

  a nice pinot --just the right amount of barnyard ... bought by accident - lucky find in local LCBO store ( was not suggested by my wine consultant but he did like a sister - the Chardonnay we have a few of .., nice to see our price at good value of USA prices ( $22 ) ... shows more aging than one might expect for this year ... ?
  
  will buy again

  A better showing a few days later in Boston. Pinosity. Ruby red. Ripe raspberries, wild strawberries, sour cherries, earth and of course Burgundy sous bois. Medium bodied, smooth tannins, bright cherry acidity and slightly spicy midpalate.
