Wasn't as good as i expected...but still not bad either. With such good ratings, my expectations were way up there in the nines. This barely made my 8.5 grade!

I could tell right off the bat I could tell there was some clone 777 in here. It's one of my favorite PN clones with notes of wet earth and mushroom but with soft red fruit. Nice structure and acid. I'm enjoying this a lot.

Perfectly adequate. A little wet earth-y.

This is a good, medium body Pinot. The price point is good. Will be serving it at our daughter's wedding.

Nose: Earthy, dirty mushrooms and tomatoes. Taste: Complex, plums, berries. Thanks for the tip @Gary Vaynerchuk!
