A field of fresh real strawberry mingled with blackberry bramble and mint.
This nose continues to influence the wines light bodied flavor nuances.
Cherry skins, ripe red fruits, feathery vanilla tannins, crisp and well integrated horseshoe acidity. (Front and sides of tongue)
Delightful.

Popped and poured; consumed over four hours. Red cherry, strawberry, baking spices. Enough structure to last for more than a few years but there’s no reason to hold onto these. Went well with stuffed peppers tonight. Drink now.

Nice Pinot. Another example of the RVR not failing. Value wine. Anytime wine. Strawberries, light tannins, but decent mouthful. Love it? No. Like it? Yes.

Truly the “Standard” to which I judge other Pinot noir. This is excellent and I never tire of this one!

Light blend with hints of fruit. Smooth and easy to drink with friends. Good with truffle pizza.
