To me, this is everything you want in a bottle of pinot noir at this price point. Bright, acid driven and super versatile with food.

Bright and acid-y- not the fruit bomb I was dreading. Great way to ease back into domestic

Nice soft, forward style combined with a ripe vintage = super drinkable

Light. Not fruity. Not too light. My palate is too accustomed to being pounded by BIG Cabs & 100+IBU IPA's for me to qualify as a reviewer of this wine. It was good with the cheesy chicken pasta I made tonite ;)

Floral and lots of fruit on the nose and good amount of acid but drinks a bit too heavy and fruity for what I am looking for in PN -- 13.8% abv. Seems honest and pure in style, and doesn't need food -- maybe need to check out a cooler vintage

Bright red fruit with a juicy taste. Light to medium in body. Very, very good.
