PnP. Medium ruby with a garnet rim. On the nose, cherry, candied strawberry, maybe some faint earthiness. On the palate, medium high acidity, medium body. Lots of fruit up front with a medium satisfying finish of tart cherry. Overall a very drinkable pinot. Complex enough at this price point and also has the body and fruit to keep cab drinkers interested, but doesn't overdo it.

Very juicy with loads of strawberry and cherry. Cloves and vanilla round it off. Nothing special but exactly what you hoped it would be. Decent acid with nice length. Might not improve but will make it a few more years.

Nose: Forest floor and moss with black cherries and some raspberry. Palate: Healthy acidity with the black cherry, raspberry and an elegant medium length finish. While fine on pop and pour this really opened up after some lengthy glass air time. Great QPR at $16/bottle. Will buy a bunch more to scratch the Pinot itch without dipping into my higher end stuff.

Delicious and full bodied but not overly sweet. Tart finish that lingers on the middle of the tongue. Would look forward to tasting this after more maturation.

This is about the fourth vintage of this wine that I've had. It's probably one of the better ones, for sure. For some reason I missed the 2014 vintage but picked up this 2015 probably a week after it was bottled. The color is fairly deep Crimson like the other vintages which would lead you to believe that it is a very fruit forward wine which it is not. The wine has a sweet strawberry flavor on the attack and a very tart cranberry flavor which balances it out. There's a reasonable amount of oak which shows as a caramel nose and a slightly astringent woody flavor on the palate. Overall another monster QPR at under $20 a bottle for an everyday drinker Pinot Noir.
