  As suggested by another reviewer, let this one breath a bit - it’s slightly disjointed on open. Once open though, the nose is brambly with black cherry notes, and hints of leather and earth. On the palate, square in the red fruit part of the spectrum with mouthwatering acidity, hints of mushroom and leather, with a tiny bit of herbaceousness on the finish. It’s a decent wine but there are better examples at this price point.

  Wow, loving this Pinot. Cherry, strawberry, minerals; such a lovely balanced wine, with a nice l, smooth entry and a lovely long red fruited finish.

  Needs time after opening. Unpleasant aroma to start and flavors are not in check. Open and wait for 15 minutes.
  Once open it is a good wine. I feel that it is much different this time than the last time I had it which was not long ago. I got a good price so I am not disappointed.

  Good color, body was nice - between light and full. Bright fruit flavors start to end - Cherry, strawberry, other red fruits. A nice pleasant finish. As the bottle was open the ending became more complex.
