Wholecluster makes the difference, so complex, not just tutti frutti but a serious wine, has fruits, berries , love it but too pricy. — 6 years ago
Dark coral pink in color, excellent clarity. Tutti-frutti and strawberry notes in nose. Light cherry flavor (later, cranberry and strawberry flavors emerge), lemon finish with moderate fine-grained skin tannin astringency. Creamy lemon and mineral aftertaste. Refreshingly dry, as advertised. Not terribly complicated or complex but well-made. Not just for Double Bubble chewing gum fans — 7 years ago
Lightly pigmented brownish red. A hint of raisin or prune in nose, later a touch of mushroom or funk. Tutti frutti flavor, with time, rose, cherry and prune flavors, soft mouthfeel, crisp finish. Moderately chewy tannin finish with an anise aftertaste. A different flavor profile, but seems varietally true. This one grew on me — 7 years ago
Light to moderate extraction, purple red. Funk and raspberry notes in nose initially, slight sulfur note lingers. Very slight spritz, tutti frutti flavor. With time, cranberry flavor emerges. Moderate, lingering skin and stem astringency on tongue, moderate chewy stem and seed tannin, slight bitterness. Worth chilling down a bit. A fun, easy drinking nouveau style Pinot with character. Great value. Note tartaric crystals; not cold stabilized. — 7 years ago
Second tasting here. Dense purple. Spearmint, tutti-frutti and cherry notes in nose. Cherry-cassis in mouth, with time plum with length, moderate skin astringency, wood and spice in finish. Needs time to open. Seems to have lost something since last tasting. — 7 years ago
So yummy - light skin contact makes it have an almost cider-like taste with a clean brightness to finish — 5 years ago

Floral and red fruit notes in nose. Peach, cranberry, cherry and later tutti frutti flavors in mouth with anise and minerality in finish, slight skin astringency. Dry to off dry. Cherry and anise aftertaste. So much flavor... — 7 years ago
Brilliant purple red in color. Red raspberry gummies, floral and mango notes in nose. Gamay like flavors - tutti frutti, cherry and butter - but actually a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Petit Sirah. Light, fruit forward. According to AZ Central, a collaboration between Brent Karlicek of Upward Projects and Eric Glomski of Page Springs Cellars and Arizona Stronghold, Exclusively available at Il Postino wine cafe — 7 years ago

Lightly extracted ruby red in color, very good clarity. Briar, phenol and cherry fruit leather notes in nose. Tutti frutti and anise flavors, some seed and skin tannins in finish.

This pairing is in honor of my late hero Anthony Bourdain and of the (last ever?) G7 summit being held in Quebec City. I'm pairing this Cali Pinot noir (with rising tariffs in many foreign markets, buy it before prices escalate) with a little light reading for Trump's team on trade (Douglas Irwin is a star trade economist; this is his newly published 800-page history of US trade policy)
But enough pedantry - on, on to the wine: moderately extracted, purple in color, slightly cloudy. Raspberry and hedge notes in nose. Red berry, tutti frutti flavors with a hint of mint, later raspberry, cherry and blueberry, some seed tannins and barrel smoke in mouth. Moderate astringency and seed bitterness in finish. Light citric-lactic tartness in aftertaste. Give it time to open, complex in its crafting but tasty. — 7 years ago
Medium extracted red. Cherry, radish, green leafy veg/green chile, leather, meat, tutti frutti, candied fruit, and white pepper notes in nose. Cherry with length, fruit leather and white pepper notes in mouth, lightly extracted, light tannins overall. — 7 years ago

Insanely aromatic, thick nose of chamomile, lanolin and the color spectrum of peaches. On the palate tutti-frutti basket with everything from white cherry to oranges. Thank you to the somms that let me interlope on their blinding session today, and sneak a slurp of this magical stuff. — 5 years ago
