Just a very average wine. Pretty non-descript. Not interested in purchasing again. For a few dollars more, you can do better.

Pale reddish brown color, not much of a nose, some cherry on the palate, Very basic and bland. Ok for the price, short finish, no tannins,

Strawberry and a bit of pepper on the nose. Very light style--some fruit up front, not much mid-palate, very soft tannins and almost no finish to speak of. Approachable and simple but lacking character.

Nose of black fruit and pepper. Very light texture with low tannins. Very fruity initially with a simple, almost flabby finish. Not complex and lacks character. Not bad for the price, but not memorable either.

Better on the second day. Mouthfeel and nose were lovely and it increased in complexity. Very impressed at this price. I'll definitely buy again.

Wow! This surprised me. A great deal at the price. Not a complex wine, but very fruit forward, pleasantly dry, nice nose, and close to a classic pinot at a pre-Sideways price.

I found this wine to be jammy and a tad hot. Liked the screw cap, but don't get the 90 points from one of the wine mags. Found in Colorado for $13 bones or so, after looking all over to find a stinking bottle of wine. Didn't realize the Mormon influence was so strong in the great state of Colorado! Can't recommend although this style may appeal to some folks.

This vintage did not compare to past years. Lacks structure and fruit balance.

Epitome of a mediocre post-Sideways CA pinot. Balanced but bland, black and red fruit. Essentially no tannins, with a short, pruny finish that reminded me more of a Malbec than a pinot noir. I'd be less annoyed if it had been $8, but at $13 this is a poor showing.

Bland, inoffensive Pinot Noir. Nothing particularly interesting. Little nose. For $15 I expected a little more.

A bit brown in color? Pruny, rhubarb with a dash of nutmeg on the palate. A bit candied & uninspired.
