This is a very smooth easy pinot' Did not require a long open for our taste. Would definately purchase this again; Wish I had bought more.

Smooth bold flavors. Excellent finish.

Sometimes I wonder if we are all drinking the same wine. This particular one has ratings from 1 to 5 stars, a couple of them, ostensibly, due to bad corks. One person even thinks it's a great Merlot! Beats me! All I can say is that this was one of the wines I opened yesterday for our combined Thanksgiving/Christmas family get-together and there were no bad corks or thin, watery wine. It was wonderful with grilled lamb racks after an hour's decanting and held up very well for over 6 hours in the decanter, at which point I finished it. It's still worth a solid 4 stars (probably really 4.5). Everyone that tasted it liked it, but the other wine was a magnum and more people were seduced by the novelty of it.

Excellent Pinot. More complex than your typical Pinot. nice wine.

Very nice wine, good example of Willamette Valley. Not as complex or developed as some, probably better on its own than paired with food. Needed some time to open up, but body also diminished some after being open a few hours. Very enjoyable, drinkable wine overall.

Nice smooth pinot with wonderful berry flavor without being over the top.

I am not a huge Pinot drinker... this changed my mind. Full bodied for Pinot with a great flavor. Hit with friends. Great value. Love this wine.

Nice fruit and good balance...very enjoyable for drinking now!

Immediately after opening there is a good nose of cherry/raspberry, tea and a touch of forest floor. On the palate, there is excellent tart cherry and other red fruits. Very nice texture, excellent acidity, fine tannin and a long, firm finish. Gains weight with air and becomes even nicer and fuller with a lovely tart cherry finish. This is an excellent food wine and was great with grilled lamb chops seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, onion and rosemary. Excellent value, too. Still looking for that 4.5 rating....

Perhaps worth what WineAccess asked for it, but not a very pleasant pinot. Given your hyperbolic description of its merits I expected more. Live and learn :-) Sometimes the writers of the ad copy are better than the winemakers.

I was a little disappointed in the wine, I would rate it as good, frankly not any better than any other $20 bottle of Pinot.

Wine spent too long in shipment which I believe affected its quality and poor taste.

Totally a bust! What were you thinking to endorse this bland watery bottle? There must have been a storage or shipment problem and I will be asking for a credit on this one, certainly not the "kudos" you were expecting!

First bottle, corked, oxidized and undrinkable. Second bottle, cork soft but not shot. Wine undistinguished. Not what I expected or paid. Two emails to our friends at WineAccess. No response. Disappointed.

This Pinot had no body, very light. Reminded me of an Old Beaujolais.
