Very nice Pinot Noir. Light raspberry. Good everyday wine

2016 vintage

Between 86 & 87. This is a pleasant wine, but the finish is short, and not much depth of flavors. Sweet red fruits, and that’s about all you’re going to get. For the price, it’s likely to please people, but just isn’t super interesting to us tonight.

Clear aroma. Hints of metal, jasmine. On taste, flavors of raspberry (light). Very clean and young. Not deep flavored, but not necessarily a bad thing. Very pleasing finish. Growth of flavors on finish.

I am not a Pinot Noir fan to begin with, however, I have had good ones, but this is not one of them. Too thin, light color, no balance, no depth. I prefer much bolder wines, and I have had $5.99 wines that are better than this one. Aerating did not help.

2009 vintage

amazingly light colored, hint of bricking. Actually not bad, for what looked like watered down juice

2009 vintage

The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Medium. The body is extremely Light. The wine has Linear texture. Short finish. Not a bad taste but completely unmemorable. That said, was a very good wine for a party (assuming they are not connoisseurs), very drinkable, didn't offend with any provided foods, didn't parch.

12.7% abv. color: clear, medium red Aroma: Week, alcohol, faint berry. Light-bodied with very little fruit. Some acid. Not balanced. Light tannins and nothing else after about 45 seconds. Not enjoyable for me.

Nice light Pino

A light and thin Pinot.

2009 vintage

Light, without much depth

2009 vintage

This did not taste good at all. First it was insipid, then just plain bad.

2009 vintage

Garnet in color, light bodied and a bit flabby but acceptable at the low QPR (Quality Price Ratio) price-point - aromas of dusty rose, raspberries, cedar, leather and spice; berry and slightly tart cherry flavors give way to tannin through the modest lingering finish.

2009 vintage

Color was light, flavor was light and airy.

2009 vintage

A lighter style Pinot Noir. I prefer something a bit heavier with a more robust and rounded out flavor, but this was still an okay wine for the style. Good for chicken on the deck.

2009 vintage

Popped and poured. Color ruby. Nose with cranberry fruit and a touch of spray coppertone. On palate this is sooth but mostly vegetal. Finish thin and a bit unpleasant.

2009 vintage

Average Pinot. Not worth the 17 paid. More of a 10 bottle

2009 vintage

On the nose there's bright cherry, dill pickle, smoke, flowers & plum skins ~ The palate is medium bodied with bright acidity & soft tannins with flavors of bing cherry, strawberry, rhubarb & liquorice ~ A very simple easy drinking Pinot

2009 vintage

- Purple color with slow forming legs and aromas of strawberry. It's unbalanced and has flavours of strawberry with a light body. Linear texture with a short finish - Young

2009 vintage

An easy to drink, simple pinot noir.
