  Opened and poured.
  Pale red core fading to watery pink rim - good legs.
  Wonderful aromas of red currants and spice.
  Strawberries and cream on the palate, nice acidity producing a clean finish. Good length but nothing amazing.
  After an hour nose has a creamy red fruit note, and the palate a cherry-isn spice.
  I don't often drink US PN as they don't travel well in terms of their price. This wine lacks the concentration of flavour that I normally associate with PNs that I drink from France, but is nevertheless a nice drop. I have another bottle that I will keep for a couple of years to see if any mature PN notes develop.

  Give this wine a good airing and it will reward you with a nose of cherries, earthiness, hints of flowers, and delicate spices. The palate has flavours of cherries and rhubarb and well integrated acidity and tannin. The finish has flavours of earthy minerslity and sweet cherries. This is a deliciously light , elegant and refined iteration of Pinot Noir. It should continue to drink well for the next 2-3 years.

  Vibrant ruby in color, this wine reveals cherry cola, Asian spice and wood smoke on the nose. The mouth feel brings bright acidity, more spice and hint of raspberry compote. The finish brings out the cherry and spice elements. 13.5% abv.
  
  Purchased for $22US, this was an enjoyable bottle of PN shared with friends tonight.
