Nice fruit on nose and palate. Great price/value. Enjoyed w/ Chicken dish. Don't try to compare with an elegant Pinot. For $10-12, can't be beat. Good year for Pinots in Monterey, I think. Would buy again

Nose was bright with clear cherry notes. If all you do is smell it you will be happy. Unfortunately the taste is muddled and there is a bitterness in the finish. I did not drink with food.

California Wine Tour; 8/27/2009-8/30/2009 (Sonoma/Spring Mtn/Napa/Santa Cruz): A dinner drink to prep us for Pinot-Mode at Sojourn tomorrow. Subdued nose, but does have cherry cola flavors, anise, clean, feels like from a warmer area. But I sense a FAKE CARAMEL smoothness, and fading finish. Good everyday pinot.

Very dark for a Pinot--? Something else in here? OK.
