Giving this a little bump for the great QPR. Soft cherries, but also some earth and spice. Nicely balanced, and good varietal character. Restrained and balanced.

This is a grocery store Pinot Noir that is more than satisfactory. It has true Pinot character, it smells like Pinot, it looks like Pinot, and it tastes like Pinot. If I have any complaints, it is a little heavy, which might indicate a touch of sweetness. Everything else falls in place. There is a dry barnyard thing. There is an admirable amount of tannins that may help with the heavy feeling. There is an almost cherry syrup with the red raspberry fruit. There is a nice mocha taste following the fruit. I am getting some brown sugar on the finish, and I like this wine the more I drink into the glass.
