Open-knit, with a fresh core of cherry and raspberry fruit laced with light spice shadings through the breezy finish. Drink now. 86 pts Wine Advocate Issue #199 Feb 2012
The 2010 Bicycle Pinot Noir saw 8 months aging in barrel and 8 months in tank. Medium ruby red in color, the nose reveals some varietal character with its notions of cherry blossom, strawberry, and rhubarb. In the glass it is smooth-textured, sweetly-fruited, and friendly. This excellent value offers a fine introduction to the virtues of Pinot Noir.
