  Air time of 45 minutes + …. Medium purple color with the same legs. Savored the aroma, definite raspberry, some plum, and a strong hint of something enjoyable that I could not pin down. Flavors of plum, raspberry jam, and a touch of cinnamon. Gave it a good taste on the finish and it passed. Slight tannins but a good, solid Sonoma Pinot. 90 pts. from me (but what do I know . )

  Soooo disappointed - looked great in the glass, nose was textbook RRV pinot, but the palate was really disjointed and hot. Let it sit in the glass, but it didn't improve. I'm thinking it's an off bottle given the reviews.

  This Pinot is a dark shade of purple and is quite a bit more opaque than expected. The nose gives me dark cherries, boysenberry, clove and cola. Very intricate. The palate is quite unique- cherry cola meets rhubarb and cranberry. I sense a cascade of acidity as my mouth starts to water but there's a modicum of dryness from lithe tannins that hit towards the mid palate. The dark red fruit theme continues and I get a nice finish with some extras- Rooibos tea, spices and more of that cherry cola thing. It is a really tasty wine that has been extracted very well, not overdone with nice oak integration. The length of the finish is really great and the tannins stick with me for quite a while. Light-to-medium bodied, it has a nice mouthfeel. Drink this 91 point wine till 2027. I am preparing Sous Vide chicken and Swiss chard to pair. For $19 it's an awesome deal that gets 5 stars from me.
