Not terrible right after opening but rapidly lost fruit and interest. What was left was a little cranberry and just enough funk to keep me coming back to see if it would come around, but it never did.

Light red-purple color. Some stony weediness on the nose. Plums, cherries, celery, and earth on the palate. Well-balanced, light, smooth, and delightful. I've had several '07 "generic" burgundies, but this is the only one I've truly enjoyed.

Translucent, nearly clear at the rim. A little funk blew off quickly. Strawberry and cranberry on the nose, albeit weak. Floral. The palate is watery strawberry at best. A little grippy on the mid-palate, which makes the transition to the short finish terribly awkward.

fresh soil and sod on the nose, light-bodied, elegant, cranberry, soda water and strong mineral on the palate, solid acid backbone, dry, opens up with air, could cellar, was decent match with steak filet, nice complexity for price
To me, this is very anti-burgundy in style, more resembling a similarly priced Oregon Pinot Noir. Could use a little more weight at midpalate but for the price ($19) this. Is fairly decent.
