Got hit twice with the oak stick. That said, actually tastes like Pinot and is a crowd pleaser. Pretty good QPR at $16.

BTG a very credible wine to serve.

Apr 9th, 2015We had a regional blind wine tasting of Pinot Noir tonight. I was assigned California, but the trick was bottles could only be about $20 each. Thanks to a sale, I picked this up for $24 (totally new to me!) and it won!!! (It beat out Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand and Chili!) Fuller bodied with an interesting thread of minerality going through. More earth than fruit, too.

More oak than fruit by a long shot. Perfect example of why you gotta shop with caution for Calif Pinot Noir in the east coast. This is just bad wine with a good zip code.

Very nice Pinot - a great taste for everyday meals. Light enough to enjoy on its own. Not as heavy as I would like for a richer meal.
