Surprisingly decent wine; perhaps a bit one dimensional, but a nice sip and OK with simple food.

On the nose: plum, cherries, pomegranate, leaf, vanilla, honeysuckle. Medium body, smooth tannins, dark fruit, prune, balanced, with a nice spice on the back end. Finish was medium length, with mineral. Very nice Pinot Noir.

Drank a flight of 2 macmurrays w C/S. Crystal liked 2009 from Sonoma more than 2012 from Russian R. Chris & S liked the opposite.

Rich fruit without being a fruit bomb like some California Pinot Noirs. Great minerality and earth to balance the fruit. Versatile and very good daily drinker.

Rich fruit and cherry on the nose; notes of herb and boysenberry. It seemed like it would do well with maturation, so I'll be shelving my other bottle from this vintage.

Huge aromas of ripe red cherries, raspberries, slight strawberry, rose and baking spice on the nose follows through with medium tannins, medium bodied Pinot noir.

Tasted in a flight with an OR and a Bourgogne, probably performed the best. Started out very approachable and held up from there. Softest of the flight, but probably also deepest. Nice balance and structure, ready to drink as an infant. Some wood and spice on the nose, strawberry/raspberry palate.

Good savory RRV fruit. Dark with black acid, black cherry, earth. A nice acidic lift and some mushroom/soy/umami and a touch of sweetness. Very nice. I got this for under $20 and I think it was a bargain. B/B-

Powerfull Pinot with a nose of earth, very rape raspberries and bluberries with hints of dark chocolate, leader and coffe. Mouth of chocolate, coffe, earth with god acidity and well integrated tanins. Will highly likely improve for some years in the bottle.

very pretty nose, very pinot dry, extremely perfumed, almost over-poweringly so. Tastes a little confected, like sweets though not actually sweet sour candy perhaps quite savoury odd wine

Always a value on a wine list, I had this by the glass. As usual was a solid flavorful Pinot, nothing overdone and very enjoyable. Moderate color, nice ripe cranberry and sun dried tomato notes with a hint of smoke, good acid balance and just enough tannin to give structure and finish. One glass led to a second and I should have bought the bottle.

Lovely nose of dark fruit, cranberry and red cherry, hint of earth and spice, more of the same on the palate, nice complexity, prefer the reserve, medium body and medium finish.

Ap: purple black Ar: raspberry and cranberry with good intensity Medium bodied and good balance Good length 50+4+12+16+7 Good Russian River Pinot. Nice balance compared to many of the other wines we tried this evening. Would buy it if I could get hold on some bottles to a reasonable price
