Lighter than your typical US pinot (by today's standard). Muted cherry flavor, average finish, weak color/balance. A tad above average.

Slighter lighter in color than most Pino's that I drink. Earthy, berry, and cherry tones and slightly tart on the finish.

Fruity, fresh and very nice. Red fruit on the nose and palate. Good balance of acid and soft tannins that accompany rib steak well.

Very big for an Oregon Pinot. Nice - very fruity, but not right with salmon.

Very light nose. Almost nothing. Barest hint of earth. Light mouth too with good acid and mild dark fruit like bing cherry maybe. Air wine.

Pop and pour. Classic Pinot appearance--starting to get a bit of brick red. Sour cherries, leather, some pepper and a touch of vanilla on the nose--very nice. The finish is the best part of this with some light acid and not at all bitter. Mostly some cherries and the leather from the start to the mid palate. A bit thin.

Some reduction present on first opening. Over time, it opens up to muted cherry and mint aromas. Palate is pinot noir cherry with a little bit of mushroom, medium finish. Straightforward, drinkable, decent value in the mid teens.

Best Pinot Noir we have had in a long time. Have had past vintages which were also very good. Silky smooth with more black cherry than most. Drank before going to dinner at Ruth's Chris.

Initial pour had an initial metallic taste which was not present in an earlier tasting. Seemed to improve by 2nd glass. Vacuum sealed and will try again next day. Next day was quite better. Not sure what happened on the 1st evening. Bumped the score to 82. Not a great QPR - better at $13/bottle.

Not as good as I was expecting. On the wine list at a favorite restaurant for 3x what I paid for it. Seemed a bit unbalanced, thin, the finish was pleasant enough but there are plenty of other pinots, oregon or otherwise that are better at the price point.

$16 on clearance, thin see-through body, drinkable but with strange mid-tongue flavor, medium/light tannins at finish, will not repurchase.

Good color, light everything else, much lighter than most Oregon Pinots I have had. Basic pinot with no nuance, but definitely identifiable as pinot, would be better on a summer night than a winter one

Light ruby color. Bright citus nose. Light refreshing taste of rasberry, cranberry with good acidity. Hardly any tanins. Clean finish. Overall a safe choice with a group of people. Festive.

Cedar Smokey dark fruit on the nose, cherries and raspberry, tannins carrying through into a long finish, ending in cherries.

An average pinor Noir that really ranks as average. Acidic, thin and lacking structure, some cherry and raspberry on the nose and palate but it is overcome by an overall lack of ripeness in the fruit. I wouldn't seek it out, even at the price point.

Medium ruby color. Fruit forward on the nose with cherry and strawberry aromas coming through along with a floral aspect. More of the same on the palate. Medium acid, juicy mouthfeel. A little light in the tannin department but a very enjoyable easy drinking pinot.
