Good Pinot with balance and constrained fruit. Drinks nicely right after opening.

Impressive. A smokey, complex, cola nose, gives way to a bold, expansive palate. Light on its feet, yet rugged and complex. Cinnamon and cloves compliment sour cherries. Softened with air. For a sub $18 pinot, it’s tough to beat.

not as full bodied as most, bitterness at the end with very little to no burn. Acceptable for price, however, it shows how corrupt the rating system is among various people.

Nice Pinot very good taste. Abby really liked it. Not dry and full of flavor - berries, cherry and light licorice on the finish
