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.

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. :)

Boozy smokey with a little jam. Smells great! This is a bourbon drinker's pinot noir.

Light on the palette yet bitter on the swallow. Benefits from aeration.

Had this last week, very disappointed (esp. compared to the label's red blend). Heavy alcohol taste overpowered each glass. At least it smelled somewhat savory...
