  This one slaps you in the face. Amazing deep structure and complexity. Lots of dark red fruits, some oaky vanilla notes and a huge and long finish. Just had a glass of it to try - an amazing Pinot Noir which is not that easy to identify as a Pinot Noir. Can easily age another decade - drink up until 2029.

  Wow, Boom, Pow! It felt like a Batman episode. You remember the old school Batman and Robin fights! No way is that Pinot Noir. Covert Fingers created a Wow, Boom, Pow on my pallet. The upfront bold Krankl taste couldn’t be missed. Full body and dark fruit tastes are two adjectives that dominated. This wine is absolutely the first cousin to SQN Syrah/Grenache wines. The long heavy bottle told me so much about this Pinot. No way could this juice have been served in a plump, elegant Pinot style bottle. In fact, my wife commented and felt Zinfandel characteristics. She was spot on! SQN CF was still drinkable and held up nicely considering it was made in 2004. How can you not give this wine 100 points! Totally Krankl and stay away from this if your looking for a traditional Pinot Noir. Full Body, Dark Fruity, Strong, Zinfandelish, Jammy and Uniquely Spicy were the 6 characters of this episode!

  Full bodied and unctuous. If you've tasted other SQN wines it has the signature lifted aromas. Difficult to impossible to impossible to identify it as Pinot Noir, as opposed to SQN Pinots from Oregon. Similar to a top-notch Chateauneuf du Pape. I haven't had one wine from SQN which was not remarkable... Maybe it would have been even better younger.

  For a fourteen year old Pinot just incredible. Dark, pronounced fruit, great length. Spectacular still. Marvelous bottle of wine.
