The splashy label gave me pause and I approached with caution, but once I tasted, I was hooked. Fruity and warm without being a fruit bomb. Strong finish with stewed fruit and a hint of star anise. I would enjoy this all night solo hit it begs for food.

Definitely not a "classic" Pinot but awesome nonetheless. Great balance with tons of juiciness. Nose of black cherry with plums, shrooms, and rose petals on the palate. Just the right amount of oak in there, as well. The finish is long and velvety. It stays forever and you want it to.

Easily a favorite wine I've ever had. Velvetly, smooth, flavorful. How can I get more?

Excellent pinot. Perfume nose with black cherry and rose petals. Palate is full and round fruit with hints of black tea on a lengthy, delicious finish. Oak influence is significant but not overpowering. Love this stuff.

Nice and mature fruity taste and it doesn't overpower. This is the Pinot for me. I love its quick finish. This is a seriously good wine to bring over for dinner.

Black currant and charcoal on the nose. Soft on the tongue with some raspberry and cola flavour. Very smooth pinot. Short finish, disappears from the palate leaving you ready for another sip. A crowd pleaser, you can bring this to any gathering to wow your friends. 2012 vintage.
