Entry level Pinot never tasted so good! While you wait on the Liaison.

Wine 6/12 (Pinot Noir aka 'Peanut of the Night')

Nose has ripe cherry, tree bark, roses, blood orange slice, minor cedar notes, molasses cookie and fresh blackberry.

Palate has dried strawberry, ripe cherry, dried citrus, tart cherry, molasses, baking spices with notable tannins/acidity, a very long finish.

A perfect wine for any party, if you don't like this there might be something wrong with you. Are you a dyed-in-the-wool White Zinfandel fan, maybe this isn't your game then.

Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.

We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew.

Whoa Nellie. Bought ( along with its more expensive sibling, the Liason) based on the reviews I saw on Delectable. First surprise: the concentration; second: the peppery, gorgeous, fine grained fruit. Creosote nose, along w pepper and black cherries on palate. Strong mid palate. For 23$ I am stunned.

Unbeatable at this price point. Ridiculous complexity. Strawberry, black forest herbs, touch crushed marble, hint white pepper, fresh juicy acidic ripe Italien prune plums. I have no idea how they do this.

Incredibly tasty. 13%. 5 years in the bottle. Roses, orange peals, strawberries hint cranberries and cherries. Tannins. So velvety. Yes inexpensive but this is just so good. Hence the rating. For 20$ unbeatable. A standout!

Much improved from my last tasting 2 yrs ago - same profile but more focused fruit (cherry galore), delineated secondary aromas & flavors, and more density

Developed a brown tinge. 13%. By a mile the greatest Pinot deal out there. With some age this is even better. Raspberries,limes, back palate touch bitter, tree bark from Home Depot, herbs. Cardamom? Just a joy to drink. And while I buy their wines by the case they never last long. So I can’t even evaluate their age ability beyond 4 years. Yes a high rating but the wine is just so good. Note: They always make wine on the edge - give it time hours in the glass or years in the bottle - you will be rewarded!!!

Light style see thru w/elegant profuse nose of all kinds of red fruit: cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, strawberry & rhubarb. Had a resiny, sappy, snappy quality along with a leafy herbaceousness - sassafras. Tasty but a bit watery for my palate & finish on the rustic side. There is purity here & I understand this is an entry level effort, so it delivers for what it is.

Divine simply awesome. Even for E&M a standout.
