Spikey open leads to a decent fruit-strong nose that dissipates as the bottle stays open. Very light frame, very delicate flavor. Representative of the negative features of the 2007 willamette profile. Not as bad as other have listed, but you have to concentrate to find the effort in the bottle. This is not a wine to feature, but a good option on a banquet table or to open towards the end of the night.

nose is ok, fruit has some old world flavor, not a fruit bomb, alcohol is low. however it was a very light wine with a non existent finish, mid palate was also weak, entry was ok. acidity and tannins are ok, but body was too light.

Hardly any nose, taste a mess and almost unrecognizable as a Pinot Noir. Not enjoyable. Don't think this was an off bottle but curious to see other reviews over time. Did not finish my first glass and poured the bottle down the drain. Stay away - even at the modest $17 purchase price.

no nose, far too light. Maybe this was bad, but definitely not impressed
