Light ruby in color. The nose has cherries and slight spice. On the palate, this has cherries and sour cherries and a slight woody note. Nice texture. A step up from easy drinking. Good finish. Around $26

This is an excellent value. For around $18, it is hard to get a better Pinot anywhere. Not that it is amazing or mind blowing, but it is correct and affordable. That is what Bourgogne should be about. Purple/ruby in color. The nose is dusty with cherries, powdered cherry drink and slight spice. This has a very nice medium bodied, silky texture. Cherries and sour cherries on the palate. Slight depth. Good balance. Nice finish.

These wines don't seem to get the respect that other Bourgogne's get and that is a shame. This was delicious. It is more understated, but that is not a bad thing in Burgundy. Light ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with cranberries, rhubarb, cherries and slight char. Medium bodied. A bit riper on the palate with cherries and slight rhubarb. Light tannins. Sour/tart cherries on the finish. This works better with food than on its own. Sweet and sour Pork would work well.

Pinot Fin is apparently an ancient clone of Pinot Noir. The berries are even smaller than Pinot Noir. Arnoux's fruit is from Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanee, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Some of the vines date back to 1959. Whether that is marketing or there is some substance there is hard to say based on this sample. It was my first time trying this wine. Deep ruby in color. The nose has sour cherries, dust and slight earthiness. On the palate, this is good but relatively simple. Cherries with slight underlying earthiness. Medium finish. This is easy to drink and will go with most

Tasted over two nights, it was better on the second. This carries the name Pinot Noir on the label as well. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose has raspberries, rhubarb and slight cherries. Also, a slight dill note. Odd as this sees no wood at all. On the palate, the red fruits carry thru if a bit thin. There is a green note especially on the finish. This was disjointed on opening but with air settled a bit. It is an easy going Pinot Noir that is unremarkable in most aspects. It will work better with some lighter food, perhaps chicken salad. Dirnk over the next couple of ye
