He says: Simple, boring, and a short finish. Damn, this sucked.
She says: A most uninspiring wine not worthy of its $27 price tag.

She says: Having been unimpressed with other Malborough Pinot Noir I’ve tasted, this wine proved to me that they can deliver on this finicky variety. He says: At an informal blind tasting we attended of 7 different Pinot Noirs between $25 & $70, this one took first place in our books. Enough said. 
She says: This wine took us by surprise and stood up well beside examples from around the world. He says: It’s drinking beautifully right now, showing a lot of meatiness and intensity on the nose, with sour cherry and herbaceousness on the palate. 
He says: A well-balanced wine that I will definitely re-buy in a better vintage to drink again. She says: Having been impressed in the past by Andrew Rich wines, it was a pleasant surprise to see this unveiled after the tasting. 
He says: It was a bad year for Oregon, hit by heavy rains at harvest, and yes, 2007 Oregonian Pinot Noir is an expensive lesson we won’t soon forget. She says: With high expectations this rather simple palate failed to deliver. 
She says: When it comes to Pinot Noir I generally have very expensive taste, even among New World examples. This did not hold true when it came to the Le Vieux Pin Belle with it’s $45 price tag. He says: The bouquet shows promise, but on the palate, it’s an oaky, tannic mess with dead, thin fruit, belittling the elegance of what a Pinot Noir is supposed to be. 
She says: Not bad but nothing to get really excited about either. Unless you count the cool use of the figure 8 to create very distinctive labels… love the branding! He says: This Pinot Noir doesn’t blow me away, and it’s typical of the average BC style: solid red fruit, but very tight, and linear with little depth or complexity. |
