She said: Good to begin with and great by the end and that is coming from someone who is not partial to Pinot. Yes, I like them but don’t always appreciate the subtleties Ray does. To me many pinots are wimpy. This one is not. And that’s maybe why I really like this wine. With great fragrance and full of flavor the wine was dry and medium bodied, with medium tannins and complimented by the high acidity in the long finish. Delicious, and I savored my last tasting for a long time. This wine made a family casserole into a great dinner. Over the bargain budget but still a bargain wine. I think it is worth the price.
