Strawberry nose with some cherry notes. Medium to dark red, but I can still see my hand through the glass. Warm in the mouth, nicely balanced, relatively short finish.

Pleasant, somewhat simple RRV Pinot Noir with true flavors of PN, just a bit subdued. Red fruit, some background acidity, and very subtle oak and alcohol on the finish. All-in-all, unbeatable QPR at $10 for an everyday PN. No hint of wood chips and other varietals, actually tastes like PN, sourced from 4 coastal California counties.

IMHO this is what pinot noir really is: light red in color with surprisingly rich fruit. Not dark, not a blockbuster. It presents the classic pinot conundrum: how can something that appears so lightweight be so incredibly rich? I drank this very chilled to begin (straight out of a wine refrigerator that was probably in the low 50s) and it seemed to have concentrated the flavor and richness at the core of the wine. Quite an experience for $15. Highly recommended. 2007 is a great year for RRV pinot.
