      Is this watered down?

            Comments about Rascal 2011 Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley:

            My first thought was that someone had somehow mixed this wine with water and that I had bought a bad bottle. But then I logged on here and discovered that the very first reviewer also thought it had been watered down.

            It is much lighter in color than a usual pinot noir and (unsurprisingly) is lacking the flavor of a usual pinor noir.

            I might recommend this wine for someone who had never had wine before and was stealing it for a high school party and they would then use it for a chaser after a bud light, but that's about it. It's going back to the store.

                This is a very inexpensive Oregon Pinot. I was excited to find a bargain that was relatively well-received. However, it was lacking in flavor and acid. It literally tasted like it was watered down.

                    Unpretentious and easy… you get a Willamette Pinot Noir at a great price! If the price of the Willamettes has kept you away, this is your in. Don't miss it!

                      This is quite simply THE BEST value Oregon Pinot on the market right now. It has all the quintessential components a Williamette Valley Pinot should. Ripe and pretty cherry and strawberry with lacings of pepper, dark spice and smoked cedar. It's a light bodied, elegant wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a plethora of seafood or poultry dishes.

                            Horrible Horrible. Has no color and no taste. Like some kind of watered down Ocean spray. Absolute waste of money. Maybe it should be marketed as a "Super Ultra Lite" Wine.
