I was skeptical at first but after letting it breath for 30 min it began to take some shape... or maybe I'm just drunk

One if the most misleading and disappointing #wines I've tasted this week. Tons of attractive #PinotNoir aromatics on the nose of cherries, plums. On the palate, I couldn't get past the overwhelming taste of alcohol. Like someone dropped a shot of wine into a glass of Absolut (AKA alcohol trying to be vodka) Just a huge let down. Tried second glass with same results. Asked sales rep to bring in another bottle at another time to sample again. I'll revise this review if they can do so. Needless to say, their sales pitch was lost to me today.

Harsh wine - at least this bottle was so I think I will take a pass next time

Garnet color. Cherry aroma. Fruity, bold and smooth.

Decent Pinot. Bigger in style. Bigger body and fruits but tasty.

Bit flimsy on the end, but I think that's how I like it!
This wine definitely needs to breathe. At first it was harsh, but ten minutes later it was delicious! I drank the glasses instead of the one I intended to try. :)

Delicious medium bodies, plum, raspberry, earthy mineral comes thru. Great with a summer al fresco dinner

Some loved it some hated it I'm neutral. Just okay wine. But not a toss down the sink.!

I really like this wine! Smooth and velvety, with strong cherry, vanilla and spice. A good any day wine.

There is a Chinese place called Shanghai Yings in our neighborhood and their dumplings and fried stuff are so delicious so Chris and I order take-out and stay at home dinner

Mocha vanilla all plum dark fruit on palate with firm structure is finding their perfect way to the chinese’ savory the depth and the fried well πŸ₯Ÿ
We ordered deep fried Shanghai dumplings and deep fried tofu as well the steamed for sides
