cherries strawberries with a hint of earth on the finish. Much better wine than I was expecting.

Great example of Appellation and varietal. Deep color and flavor profile. Very enjoyable.

Very smooth for a Pinot. Can't go wrong with a Russian River Pinot. Enjoying this on a warm summer afternoon. Perfect for the day

Ruby color with cherry, cranberry and baking spice aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with crisp acidity, good balance. Flavor-wise cranberry takes the lead, with cherry, and spice in the background. Long finish.

Had this after an 05 burGundy 1er cru pommard. No comparison. But Still a decent bottle. Medium body. Tangy with spice. Long finish but a bit thin. Lotsnof acidity but lacking balance with fruit.

Just short of awful. Over ripe fruit, artificial acidity, vanilla flavored cherry fruit pop. My wife and daughter declined refills, finishing the 2007 Torii Mor instead. Next day worse, as in even more of the same.

Body was a little too heavy in this bottle. Loads of Ruby Red Grapefruit but a little too much. Lacked the balance and elegance of previous bottles. Need to listen to my own advice and wait.

I agree with the acid comments This wine has every component of a 50 dollar Anderson Valley pinot: good fruit, lots of depth and a great finish

A basic Pinot lacking depth. Sour and thin. Giving the 2nd bottle away for Xmas.

A bit acidic but paired nicely with vinegary/spicy buffalo wings. Have not always had success with red wine and spicy food but this worked quite well. Rich, juicy, red grapefruit and other red fruit came through nicely in the pairing but really felt the acid after wings were finished. Note to self. Please wait at least one more year so the acidity can fade and you can enjoy the rich red fruit.

Popped and poured. Ran through Vinturi to open up. Nose was restrained. Subtle aromas of cranberry, cherry, soft spice. Palate is medium (to me anyways) not like others have described it. Tingling, spicy finish. Enjoyable easy drinking wine. 5,12,15,6=88

Lively balance of tannins and red fruit with a lot of acidity lead way to a Red Ruby Grapefruit flavor that I quite enjoy. Your mileage my vary, but if you love acidic wines, then give this one a try.

This was a big pinot. Super ripe fruit. Just what I was expecting out of a Bruce wine. I drank the bottle with out a meal and enjoyed every drop.

Tasting room pour. Cranberry, cherry, and baking spice aromas; followed by notes of black tea, spice, red and dark fruits on the palate. Dusty tannins, finishing notes of baking spice. Textbook RRV Pinot. Balanced and solid.

A very nice "typical" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Rich berry full fruit flavors, hints of spice, medium texture and length (if that makes any sense) and good acidity. Nothing that's going to make your socks go up and down but still a very good bottle of wine to just sit and enjoy.
