91/100 with the following review:
This is lovely Pinot Noir from Napa Valley and quite affordable. Light fruit on the nose, cherries, notably. Smooth on the palate, fruit forward, and simply put - delicious. This wine would pair beautifully with a salmon, lentil and quinoa salad. Highly recommend.

89/100 with the following review:
Pale ruby in colour, with soft tannins and refreshing acidity. This wine's subtle palate has flavours of cranberry, cherry, beet root, raspberry, with earthy complexity.
A great wine to sip on it's own or pair with smoked salmon.
Drink now, or keep up to 18 months.
Date tasted: August 2014.

Deep ruby colour. Subtle oak on the nose, with more strawberry, sour cherry and a bit of peppery spice. Similar flavours on the palate. Light to medium body.

Earthy and ripe red berry aromas and flavours. Supple tannins. Light to medium body, moderate oaking. Pleasant new world pinot noir.

Sour cherry candy on the nose with cherry, raspberry, vanilla and herb flavors. A very nice pinot that will pair well with many dishes.

Up front aromas on black and white pepper, cherry, and herbs. Quite old-world in nature. The palate presents a bit more fruit, and a nice, silky mouth-feel. An exceptional wine for the price.

August 17, 2014: Showing ruby in the glass with nose of cherry/berry, hint of barnyard, vanillan and baking spice. Medium bodied, with cherry, raspberry and some dried herb. Nice balance of acidity and tannins but showing a little heat. Nice choice for goat cheese on grilled beets with a balsamic reduction drizzle.

Tart cherry, vanilla, black pepper, and sweet spice aromas on the nose of this complex and value priced Pinot Noir. For the price you can't go wrong. Medium bodied, this is a very versatile red that would complement fish, chicken, or beef dishes. Have a case on hand for those large gatherings throughout the year. Highly recommended.
Tasted August 2014. Matt Steeves - @QuercusVino

In my opinion, Pinot Noir is just about one of the food friendliest wines you can buy, and this is a great one at a very good price. Tart cherry flavors with strawberries, pepper and spice make for a very pleasant medium-bodied wine. I make a Maple Dijon chicken dish that I love serving with Pinot Noir.
