I had this wine originally a year ago in Denver at a seafood restaraunt with Tuna. I remembered because the experience was positive, so I picked up this bottle when I ran across it. Not nearly as enjoyable this time, paired with Tuna again. A light body even for a Pinot. Cherry, cinnamon, and a hint of earthiness on the nose. Nothing particularly inviting on the taste. Well balanced, with some cinammon spice and cherry flavors. Well balanced acidity but non-distinguishable tannins. Not an especially long finish but what tasted like me to be a hint of green apple on the finish. Overall, not a bad wine. Pretty much a middle of the road pinot.

Floral nose with some plum. Weak color and body. Flavors were consistent with nose. This was a good value, but we don't drink much Pinot, so I can't speak to how it ranks amongst it's kind.

Big fruity pinot with a lot of spice. This could probably use a bit more time to age.

Nothing to write home about. Light nose and body. No complexity. Simple.

Very light garnet color. Chalkiness or loam or on the nose with a subdued palate. Burgundian in style.

Light maroon color. Sweet but sour, grassy aroma— rhubarb? Sweet, well-rounded flavor, strong tannins... solid but unremarkable.
