The higher alcohol content of this wine made this slightly more bitter than I would like, but still quite good! Very good value. — 4 years ago
Light in taste and color. Lightly bitter. Easy drink. — 6 years ago
Tastes of blackberry and a little cocoa. The wine is velvety smooth with an excellent finish. This wine fights way above its weight. I agree with other users that it seems like a wine costing $25 or more, not $10. — 7 years ago

Bottle #2 from case and it has gained some structure and opened a bit in the last 1.5 years. Nose is great, reminds me a lot of last nights Pontet Canet on nose. Hint of tobacco, pencil leaf, red fruits currant, kirsch, and red berries. Great mouthfeel, great balance, and good structure. Looking forward to another in 2 years if I can wait! — 6 months ago

This is a big fruit forward wine. Probably the best DS I’ve had in awhile and ‘14s. Black licorice on the nose and a lot of baked dark fruit. Palate is well balance. Fruit, acid and great texture. — 6 years ago
Raisins and leather on the nose. Slightly sweet. Taste begins sweet and caramel; very full. Slightly alcohol forward. Dries out late with hints of oak and smoke. As someone else said, it's like the offspring of bourbon and rum. — 7 years ago
Aldi Pinot. Robust for Pinot, one of my favorites. — 7 years ago

Great Pinot , tastes like it from Burgundy. Red fruit, not sweet, white pepper, light tannins. Very well rounded. Did not get the mushroom forest nuances that others are describing.  — 2 months ago
