No Pinot or Burgundy qualities. Taste like a tired Zinfandel with too much oak. Hint of Hi C mixed with everclear. Fruit punch on the nose. Not a fan of this style.

Not quite as good as the previous bottle. A head-scratcher, considering the last bottle was only a few months ago. Still pretty and delicious, but tasting more like a "generic" Martinelli pinot without the rustic character I previously experienced and enjoyed. This is from a half-bottle (same as last time), and better stemware was used. Medium-to-full bodied that held up well to dried-aged sirloin with chimichurri sauce.

Dark cherry, full bodied pinot with a rustic finish. Very enjoyable!

Nose of spiced cranberry and wet cedar. Cherry cola with mint on the finish.
