Not bad, but nothing special. A little bit too extracted to my taste. Low tannins and so so acidity. Pleasant palate with cherries. Got a bit worse on the second and third days. Bought it at $32 on sale vs $57 MSRP. Ok QPR for sale price.

An enjoyable Pinot, but a bit over-oaked to my taste. Lots of raspberry, cassis, brambles, pepper, baking spice, cedar, smoke. Full bodied, med+ acidity, low tannins, medium finish. Smooth and full, but the oak leaves it a little harsh. On the second day, it was much harsher. Not at all pleasant. I will wait a year or more on my next bottle to see if it mellows any. I may be more sensitive than most to the oakiness - your mileage may vary....

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Mineral, Cherry, Lychee, Fig, Blueberry, Raspberry, Red Currant, Coffee, Oak, Pine, Rose, Violet, and Chocolate.

Big bold PN very dark color from the Swan clone with very exciting cedar, smoke, and raspberry nose. on the palate hits hard with ripe fruits and wonderfully full midpalate acid with long tannin to finish off this amazing vintage. easy 94
