Some kind of cork flaw. Not massive but still too much to ignore..

Fresh strawberries/red fruit. A hint of spice. Good acidity. Medium texture. Finish a bit hot but not harsh. Good standard SB pinot noir for this price range and solid QPR. Prefer to pay a little extra for ABC though. Drink soon, not really one to lay down as the fresh fruit is where the wine excels.

A very pleasant quaff. Nice red fruits with decent structure and a pleasant finish. A nice weeknight wine, but nothing special. A nice sipping wine.

This is a very nice California Pinot with some interesting flavor notes on the palate. Quite fragrant and easy drinking. All in all very nice

Nice earthiness flavors. Nice puniness, a bit dirt, clay and cherry on the nose. Sour cherry and clay mixed taste. A bit bitter, but nice. Heavy weight for a pinot.

Nice ruby color. Aromas of sour cherry and very fresh ripe red fruits, raspberry, clay, on the palate, followed by a mineral component that really worked well with this. A nice wine for sure.

Great nose, lots of spice, cherry, sandalwood and tobacco. Long and lasting legs in the glass. Notes of tangy Cherry, black pepper, some black current, and liquorice when tasted. Long finish and has well balanced tannins and acidity

This wine gave a very good showing. It displays aromatics of black fruits, spice and oak notes. The color is an extracted dark ruby. The medium/full bodied palate shows extraction and density with a sense of overall balance. This wine drinks well now and is most likely at or around its peak.

Burning candle wax and earthy smell / flavor. Plum/prune. Heavy tanin. Medium to full body. Short tail. Mild. Pretty good for the price, but better values out there. A bit sour.
