Day 1: Thank goodness my last bottle. Even at $15.00 would rather drink A to Z and the Davenport Pinot for less is far superior (sold out of course). Sweet fruits, some underbrush and floral notes. Drinkable but certaily not what I want when drinking Pinot Noir. 85 points Day 1.25: A bit better. While there is some candied fruit qualities it now features soy, spices and floral notes. 86.5 points Day 2: Burnt toast, ripe fruit and floral. Drinkable …

Very interesting and delicious Sonoma PN. It was mostly a fruit bomb at opening with bouquet of fruit and spice. But within one hour more complexity unwound and the fruit, which had mostly blueberry an unusual flavor for PN. On day two even more complexity emerged with cherry cola , licorice and my lovely spouse claims she tastes anise as well. A very good value and wish I had waited on the prior two bottles which were very fruity and …

Hey, 2 points better than last time! This wine is undoubtedly California. It just seemed more resolved this time, a little less overwhelming. It's a California pinot that I can drink and enjoy somewhat, which puts it right at 88. Chery, cola, spice, some oak, lots of fruit, full-bodied but not alcoholic or annoying in any way.

Lots of spice on the nose. Spice dominates the cherry on the palate. On the fuller body end of the spectrum. Medium pleasant finish.

Day 1: Fruit forward wine. Cherry, strawberry, subtle spice and floral notes. Medium finish. Not very complex. 86 points Day 2: Better and some of the over the top fruit has dissipated. Earth, cherry, floral, spice and cola. Medium finish. 87 points

I could rate this higher, but don’t want to look like the village idiot here. That said, this is the best cheapest bottle of Pinot you can buy under $30, IMO. Silly good from the get to the finish, it brambles along changing from a sappy Sonoma turd to a sleek under priced ripe burg, don’t believe me...go buy one and drink it, now thru 2022. A stupid good wine for $25, with or without food.

Landmark and Justin (Lilydale Pool and Yacht Club) : We were not that impressed with this wine. The best you can say is that it actually does taste like pinot noir, which down at this price level is not always true. A very simple pinot. I would echo previous tasters in that I hope it develops with time. But I would not bet on that.

Consumed over two days. Started out with a big bouquet, lots of fruit and Pinot flavors, but not much complexity. Surprisingly on day 2, it was even better having developed complexity to its finish.

On darker side of Pinot color continuum. Strawberry nose and fruit forward on palate. Charcoal notes late on finish. Simple, straightforward, fruity wine, but respectable value.

Wow, suprised-oh not really, a solid producer, and good weather, a classic Sonoma pino! Good to see the ole schools still hit n it. Buy drink, cellar, a good btl of Pinot. A re-buy. Gassed and reopen after 3 days-even better 9two pts....!

Enjoyed this wine during a wine tasting. Very aromatic with lots of red fruit and some vanilla coming through. Juicy.
