Nice when PnP: mix of red fruit with hints of mushroom; even better after several days: bright cherry and mushroom a on palate. Deep forest on nose. Many years to improve but great now

PnP and impressed! Light in color and body but all of the characteristics of a nice Burgundy: hints of barnyard and mushroom on the nose along with a bit of cherry. More of the same on the palate, mushroom on the attack bright red fruit on the finish. Some tannin which means this will age nicely. I expect it to open up and get better tomorrow, if not later today.

Fruit driven, especially on the nose with classic Pinot fruit. More on the palate with a nice finish but also good mushroom and Forest notes underneath. Will definitely age very nicely but surprisingly nice now. Just PNP and enjoy!

13% ABV. Very nice acidity. Fruit forward and overall very pleasant for food or sipping. Tannins are light enough to be almost unnoticeable, and that may be my only fault with this wine, seems a little too light.

Not a big nose, faint rose petals, freshly rained on dirt, vitamin C tablets and cherry toffee. Lively, though lightweight, mouth of orange peel, strawberry Starburst and grapefruit. Well balanced. Good acid on the finish with beets and balsa wood. Moreish.

This bottle feels more sourish with more funk and less spice than the one we had a couple months ago. Still has the dried rose and pomegranate core. I liked the other better but for a Pinot this is still a pretty nice value for the $20 we pay through Ravines club. ~5.5/10

M- body, M+ acid, light tannins. Fresh juicy cherry and pomegranate, some barky warm spice, this is quite good and food friendly even young, and so drinkable. Not a lot of Pinot I like this much for $25 (actually $20 for me with Ravinous club discount). ~6.5/10

Elegant nose: cherry and strawberry with some citrus highlights. Rooibos tea and some earthy mushrooms as well. Very old world in style. Palate is a little more fruit forward than the nose, but still very elegant. Good acid, silky palate. To me, this is the most consistent and best of the Finger Lakes pinot noir. I know cabernet franc is the flagship, but this shows why we shouldn't entirely write off the pinots.

This wine is pale ruby in hue. Its aromas include strawberry, cranberry, and a bit of earthiness. The palate is very fruit forward with the strawberries dominating. It is high acid, light bodied, low alcohol, low tannin, and has a nice but short finish. Surprisingly good for a red from the Finger Lakes!
