Robert Sinskey Vineyards Pinot Noir Aries

A bit too acid, but over aged so just maybe my fault.

2011 vintage

Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 represents a very good wine. Almost surreally smooth. Fully integrated, seamless. I would rate it a little higher if the flavors were more pronounced.

Mediocre at best. Very little structure, light finish, light body. Some hint of tart strawberry, a little floral note in the nose. Trying to find something interesting, but just can't. Clearing out whatever is left in the cellar.

Not a good Pinot Noir. It was blind tasted with 22 Oregon Pinots and got last place. Tasted the left over bottle the next day and it was terrible.

2011 vintage

Minimal structure, body and finish. Decent opening palate with good varietal character but it fades rapidly.

This opened up nicely. Much better than 6 months ago. Enjoyed with cheese and fondue. Quite nice.

I bought a case of this on WTO and over 1/2 were severely corked - the ones that were drinkable were very light with basically no structure whatsoever.

2011 vintage

Nice feminine Oregon Pinot. Light strawberry on the nose, cherry and some pepper on the palate, light with nice balance. Low alcohol. Easy drinking Pinot for $15 on WTSO

Scanned wrong no. Wrong bel

Fragrant strawberry spiced floral nose. Juicy red fruit and rhubarb palate. Light styled and refreshing Pinot Noir with a satisfying finish. Excellent value at $15.

2011 vintage

Berry nose. Strawberry, raspberry, watermelon palate, pepper and herbs. High acid, light body. Perfectly good Pinot Noir for $15.

2011 vintage

Pretty floral-berry nose. Very light on the palate. Raspberry, rhubarb, more herbal than floral. Nice balance. Nothing wrong with this wine for $15. Actually tastes like Pinot Noir.

Consistent with the first three bottles I've tasted, this wine was light ruby red in color and showed black raspberry, dark berry and orange zest on the nose. The mouth feel brought light body, white pepper and sweet red fruits. The finish was short and a touch acidic. Purchased for $14.99US from WTSO, this was a very enjoyable, entry level Willamette Valley PN. A little simple, the low price point made up for that. The very low 12.25% abv is …

Very peppery. Might be interesting with a cracked peppercorn steak or other similar meal.

2011 vintage

It's ok. There are a lot of Pinots that we like better

I didn't expect much from this wine but was pleasantly surprised at how it opened up after about thirty minutes. It is light with not much body. It is a good daily drinker.

2011 vintage

On first approach, a nose overpowered with gasoline. However, after about an hour opened up very nicely more like a typical Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with loads of red fruit and soil beginning to come through. On the palate there was more of the red fruit with high acidity. Finish was slightly brief, overpowered by tannins. Think this wine needs time in the bottle, opened up nicely. Has characteristics to carry it a few years. Will decant next bottle for …

2011 vintage

Nope, I still haven't found a domestic Pinot under $20 that I like. This one may be a bit shutdown right as the tannins are still a bit astringent, but I'm not sure it has the acidity to carry it out too many years. The nose is pleasant, but on the weak side. Another sign that it may just be in an awkward stage. I could just be optimistic that I didn't waste my money. I have three more bottles …

2011 vintage

The wine looks colorless colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle.

2011 vintage

Interesting, I really like this wine and drank it with family and friends over the holidays who regularly have Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Pretty typical and tasty, red fruit, earth and spice with good acid. 90 points for me. I have no idea why people rated it so low either, must of had a bad bottle? Good value.

2011 vintage

Wow, I am shocked by the other scores on a wine I and everyone at Thanksgiving really enjoyed. This wine was very easy to drink, light with nice pure fruit. Everyone from sophisticated to novice wine drinkers enjoyed this. I got this at $15 which is much better than $50 but still thought it would be a fair value at $25.

2011 vintage

Very weak and thin with very little fruit showing.

Are you sure?
