March 31, 2024 - Absolutely delicious! Very surprised and delighted to find this wine drinking this well. Color was dark cherry red with no brown hues, nose was fresh, clean fruit ,
and texture was beautiful on the palate with a long lasting finish
August 1, 2022 - Beautiful Pinot! Probably at it’s peak.
June 18, 2021 - Needs at least a day of air to be accessible.
June 13, 2021 - Look, it’s dark, chewy, and satisfying. But it’s not a pinot. But still a fine beverage.
April 21, 2021 - Grossly underrated.
A great Pinot Noir. Intense. Dark color. Tremendous aroma. Long flavors. Not exactly
DRC RC, but compared to every other California Pinot, at this age, hands down the best.
Save your Belle Glos. Don’t believe what is
commonly said. The best is yet to come.

January 2, 2021 - Deep colour for a Pinot, Voluptuous wine drinking very nicely now. Strong cherry flavours. A bit over the top for a Pinot but my two daughters loved it.
January 3, 2020 - Not really sure what to say. A little funky. Wait a year or two and try again.
January 16, 2019 - PNP and was very funky but let sit overnight and the goose turned into a swan!
November 29, 2018 - Smooth, silky, cherry & vanilla
October 28, 2018 - Big CA quaffer- PnP. Red fruit - cherry, strawberry, and a touch of warm spice on the nose, even a bit brambly. Sweet bramble, cherry, strawberry palate - fruit and more fruit. Sweet strawberry finish. Nice when you're in the mood. Seems like it may pair with a pan-seared duck breast, but probably best on its own. Think this was around $30 upon release - poor QPR at today's $55 release price.
