Layers of ripe red and black cherry, red plum with a hint of sweetened but still tart cranberry sauce. Not particularly complex, but a nice enjoyable wine.

Too much barnyard for my taste. I know some you love it though! Not flawed...

Average CA pinot. Ok as a backstop or at a party but would rather drink something more interesting.

This wine turned to crap just like my week did. Knew it the minute I pulled the cork. Even George agrees to dump it. Very disappointed.

We've had a lot of pinots lately. I almost didn't want to try this one. Glad I did. Was described as a "funky Pinot". We agree. Love anything funky.

One of Sean's faves! If you like Good Pinot Noir, you'll like it.

Very drinkable but a little light/boring on flavor profile. Most of my best friends' wives are like this wine. Sure you have great pictures when you go on a beach vacation together, but no one is skinny dipping at any point.
