Brick red and transluscent. Nose started out reductuve but morphed to mushroom, cranberry and old leather. Sweet strawberry, a bit cloying hut enough secondary characteristics to overcome that. Some heat from the mid-palate through the finish detracts a bit but at $21.99 I’m not complaining. Glad it’s still alive!

Ruby red in color, big nose, baking spices, cherry and cranberries on the nose. Heat on the pallet cost this wine a few points. Still has a few years left, not sure if the heat will disappear. 14.1% ? I think not.

Medium ruby red. Nice aromas of cranberry, sandalwood, and a little bit of mushroom. Medium bodied. Nice clean fruit, some nice depth, good balance. Maybe a little generic, but overall a very good drinking Pinot.

Wonderful sweet black berry and dark cherry aromas and flavors with earthy and spice notes. Rich mouth feel that coats the palate with a long finish.

Pronouced Pinot character on the nose. A bit of reductive stink on the palate. Over at $50. Works at $35.
