John rated this wine as 60/100 with the following review:

Starts off smooth and nice but leaves an unpleasant (to me) after-taste.
Displaying fresh fruit aromas and flavours of cherries, strawberries and red currants, our 2008 Mirassou California Pinot Noir is a bright reflections of our heritage as the pioneer of California Pinot Noir. This wine is at its best if enjoyed within a year of release, but can age in the bottle for up to three years if carefully cellared.
