  I think I smelled Big Red when I first opened the bottle and poured! It then proceeded to offgas like an oil refinery leaving a constantly changing chameleon that at one point smelled like acetone, another moment a freshly sharpened pencil, once it even had an aroma vaguely reminiscent of Pinot Noir. The flavors were unremarkable compared to the crazy nose. Maybe this wine was dosed with peyote or something. Psychedelic man!

  Plush, and strangely appealing, but tasting little of Pinot Noir, this shows strawberry, plum candy, cheap floral perfume, and spice flavors. Silky and round with no hard edges and a broad, sweet finish.

  Great Pinot at a good price point. Opens up when slightly chilled. Berries and plum are main notes.

  Light/tight on day one, with clean aromatics and bright acidity. Opens though loses focus on day two, becoming fatter and a little jammy for my taste. This will appeal to those looking for a basic entry level pinot with a little more weight (assuming they'll let it open).
  
  Drink now. 85 -JRS

  Meidum bodied. Cherry fruit. Bright. Not going to win any awards, but just insipid, not bad.
