Light and fruity on the nose, palette and finish are soft, pleasant but simple.

This wine surprised me, as it was much better than I thought. Ruby red , jammy,bigger than most Pinots, dark fruit, it will age well, give it a try, can't go wrong.

A bit tired, but interesting nonetheless.

Way too much bite for a pinot noir. Alcohol finishes long like hard alcohol and over powers many of the fruit notes.

Cherry pie, vanilla, a bit cloying. Pinot-flavored Kool-aid. Would rate lower but went ok with duck breast. No depth.

Very nice and good buy about $20/btl at ABC. Similar to Steele. This is where Pinots begin to me
