Has the characteristically lighter color of a Pinot Noir and some scents of currant and some general earthiness…

This looks like the first good Pinot I’ve had in a while. The color is spot on, that nice light color that typifies Pinots…

This one is supposed to be one of the best Pinot Noirs available at my favorite local wine shop…

Has a nose of berries and a dark red-purplish color…

Smells like wood and berries. The flavor has quite a bit of spice and some barely noticeable tannins on the finish…

Ok, so this whole “high risk wine buying” jag I’m on is kicking my ass so far. I had to pour half the last bottle out and this one isn’t that impressive either…

This one from Vampire is better for bringing to Halloween parties…

It’s very tough to make a good Pinot Noir for less than $20 a bottle…

Bold aroma of currant, although my brother disagrees on that (the aroma not the boldness)…

Smells like trees somehow, I can’t put a finer point on it than that…
