Not real balanced and likely past it's prime. The fruit is quite big with some spice on the back end. Dry mouthfeel with oak mid palate. It kind of drank more like a Merlot.

Crimson to ruby, medium legs. Aromas of strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, sour cherry, mushroom, forest floor, light toast, cedar, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, Herbes de Provence; faint garrigue and green olive. On the palate, sour fruit and spices dominate. Medium body, polished texture. Medium finish; acidity medium to medium-plus. Overall impression: varietally correct, solidly balanced. At $17, QPR is average for domestic wine, but below average if compared to Chilean PNs. Drink now or in 2019.

A well-proportioned Pinot indicative of the AVA, with good fruit and enough acidity to keep it going for a few years more.
