Pinot Noir from Romania - some oak, earth, among the red berries and cherries. On the dry side and not too heavy. Well under $10 and would definitely drink again. — 3 days ago

Willamette Pinots are among my favorites but this one was a little unexpected. Surprised that many think this is so light as I found it bolder than most Pinots with lots of cherry, cranberry, red fruits and a little leather. There was a little more tannin and tanginess than expected. Didn’t change my impression of OR Pinots but will go elsewhere for the next round. — a month ago

Not my preferred red style, but this sweet sparkler was quite tasty. Low 5.5% alcohol, and better as a dessert wine than the primary meal complement. — 4 months ago

Apple pear and citrus with a little minerality. From one of my favorite Willamette vineyards, this didn’t disappoint. Love their Pinot noir and now their Pinot Gris. Yum. — 5 days ago

Lots of fruit up front but not overly bold. Easy drinking with red berries and cherries. Low tannins and medium body. I recall liking other varietals from Sokol blosser and will include this on my list of “Will purchase again” even though I’m not sure which grapes were used in this OR blend. — 2 months ago

Some melon and citrus but not much of a finish. Were it not for the drop to $3.99 at TJs, I wouldn’t have even tried it. I’m going back to my Marlborough NZ SBs over this Cali. Nothing exciting here. — 3 months ago

Fruity with a slightly overly dry finish. Given the under $10 price point at TJs, this is a good value. Just nothing amazing from this Columbia Valley Wa blend. — 5 days ago

Great red blend from Portugal (and Costco for $6.99!). Red fruits, a little oak, mild tannins, and leaning dry. What a great surprise including Aragonez and Trincadeira which I have no familiarity. — 5 days ago

Nothing extraordinary but a good representation of CA Pinot noir. Lots of red berries and light oak and tannins. Prefer the earthiness of a Willamette PN but very drinkable. — 3 months ago

“Imported” by a family member visiting South Africa, this was one of my first experiences with chenin blanc on its own. A little citrus and stone fruit, a touch sweeter than I desire. Will definitely try more CBs. Delectable could not identify this as chenin blanc vs sauv blanc. — 4 months ago
