July 17, 2011 - This was very ripe and a bit stewed, not very focused. There was a but of underlying complexities, licorice, earth, but not enough to make this balanced and compelling. Bad QPR.

December 6, 2010 - good color, nose is garage floor, taste like tooth picks wood, old fruit with a muted sour finish,
one glass, made be thirst for a refreshing cold beer -

November 23, 2010 - consistent with prior notes. Very solid Pinot, but the tart/sour edge keeps this from an outstanding rating...not worth the release price, but a decent selection at $30-40.

June 10, 2010 - great color, garnet tones. nose on this is the part that misses the mark, I get almost nothing but herbal tones, in the mouth the cherry arrives, tart and dry but tasty (letting it breathe certainly helps). If this was a $20-30 wine I would be very satisfied. Bought this at auction for more than it is worth (full release price)

May 29, 2010 - This has some nice balance and tart acidity. It is only medium complex and doesn't stand out in any particular regard. I didn't like this as much on night 1 or 2 as the normal cheaper Reserve label, which seemed more interesting Day 2 than this did. Sightly disappointing, even at the closeout price. Terrible QPR at full retail. Just doesn't have the depth or interest to hit 90 points for me.

6/28/2008 (link) 89 points(Laetitia Winery Pinot Noir La Colline) Dark raspberry red color; nice cherry, baked cherry nose; very tight palate of cherry, has potential; medium finish (the ringer in the SLH and SRH tasting, as the only one that wasn't from those two appellations)
