I have been trying to find decent value priced pinot noir. I like this because most of the ones I have tried are either vinegar or too robust. I like the smoothness of this one and the price is right!

It's all about the value proposition. Is this a 5-star like a $500 Pauillac? Of course not. But at this price it's an excellent value. I have tried many budget pinots, and I keep coming back to Ropiteau for about a year now. It's an easy-drinking pinot noir without the off flavors I found in, for example, the d'Autrefois or Domaine Virginie pinots.

Though we don't usually drink Pinot Noir this is excellant for a light red wine and goes well with just about any dish! Those beginning to drink red wine, this is a great start.

Four or five stars--- compared to what? This is a nice budget Pinot, but let's get real people. I agree that, for the money, you can't go wrong. Nothing from California in this price range even comes close. The D'Autrefois costs a buck or two more and doesn't deliver nearly as much fruit. If you're looking for an every day Pinot staple, give this strong consideration, but this is not a wine for special occasions.

06 Vintage: Nice straight forward easy to drink fruity Pinot Noir. Much better than the clumsy overcooked budget pinots from California.

This wine was nice. Not a mind-blower, but nice and versitile. I enjoyed it with Italian fare two nights, and with parmesan cheese and Mobry cheese tonight.

Dark red, lighter, sweeter than I expected for a Pinot Noir. A little tannic finish. A nice, drinkable, little wine.

This is a light Pinot Noir with finesse...surprisingly well balance for a wine under $10...good buy

Although I'm not a big fan of French pinot noir, this one is pretty good!

By Lynch12439588, November 05, 2008
Passable but not the best choice at this price point. I didn't expect much complexity and wasn't disappointed. Wine was too thin to be enjoyable though. For the money try D'autrefois or Mark West.

The rep at the store said that this was a wonderful, impressive wine.... In my opinion, it's bland and watery. It definitely had some fruity accents to it, but not like the typical pinots I like. Try something else if you like a wine that packs a punch.

By Fish12744023, July 11, 2008
This tasted watery to me... I need to try more French wines and figure it out cause I ain't feelin' it...
