9.1

A really nice everyday Pinot (Costco $10) that has mild fruit, plum and violet. 2018 is very smooth from start to finish. Great by itself (cool and let warm and open) and will not overpower food. Will go back for more. May 202 — 5 years ago

Incredible Rhône and Gigondas. Never heard of this vineyard although I have visited the region. Recommended by wine broker at Specs Liquors. Great value and a lovely wine. Good tannin that softens quickly.
Highly recommend - Will buy again

A nice middle ground between oak and steel finish. Not overly fruity but the Chardonnay fruit is there. Smooth finish with a little butter. Great with food. — 5 years ago

2015 with family dinner. Everyone had meat (steak, pork, lamb and short ribs) and the body worked well with all four. Great dark cherry, berry, light tannins. Smooth but deep flavor. A classic Pinot but full bodied yet smooth on the finish. Definitely buy again — 6 years ago

This is a great value under $20. A jammy hearty Pinot that can stand against steaks but not so overpowering that it can’t be enjoyed alone. — 4 years ago

I agree with Alex - opened the 2018 for dinner w family in March 2020. Has all the berries she plum of OR pinots but not sweet. Earthy and smooth, on finish. Stood up to steak and short rinds but did not overpower chicken or pasta. Enjoyed by all. Recommend — 5 years ago
