Very fruit forward. A little earthy bite in the finish...which reminded me of a Syrah. A good wine, but I liked the Fogerty Pinot Noir better. This might be better in a year.

I rated this higher when poured eight months ago. Today it was a bit less enjoyable. Bright cherry flavor with a lingering aftertaste. Not bad.

Extreme cherry flavor, tart and less oak taste than I expected. However, I throughly enjoyed having this with my Valentine's Day dinner.

Wonderfully smooth with blackberry and blueberry. A slight buttery taste.

This a fantastic bottle from a local vineyard. It has flavored of Chocolate but finishes like a nice light Pinot

Found this 2013 Pinot Noir and opened it in 2021. Not a powerful Pinot but still enjoyable. Slight tartness on the finish.
