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.

May 23rd, 2017Not impressed. Tannins are way out of balance and not pleasant.

Apr 8th, 2018Drier 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).

May 14th, 2017A strong taste of cherry and oak. Not my favorite, but not terrible! I would buy it again.

Mar 7th, 2017This 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.
