Smoked meats with a hint of cheese as well as sweet strawberry and raspberry jam. Also has slight notes of black sharpie. Was a lot better with some decanting but just seemed a little too jammy. I mean I'm a sucker for Oregon Pinot Noir and French Pinot Noir so this wine just really doesn't compare. Sorry Train, I love you music though. Maybe I just need to try a different varietal.

Not impressed. Tannins are way out of balance and not pleasant.

A bit too fruit forward for my taste.

Drier and less fruity Pinot than normal. A bit thin with light tannins. Wouldn’t jump at buying again, but wouldn’t turn it away if it was gifted to me. (World Market).

A strong taste of cherry and oak. Not my favorite, but not terrible! I would buy it again.

Really enjoy this wine and you can't beat the price.

This is the first Pinot noir I've tried in a while that I haven't liked immediately. It's definitely drinkable (and I will definitely finish the bottle) but the cherry and oak notes seem like they're in opposition... it's bitter without having the full body to fill it out. I much preferred Save Me, San Francisco's Drops of Jupiter.

I don't know if I got a bad bottle or what, but this was one of the worst wines I've ever had. I literally poured 90% of it down the drain. Never again.
