  First off this is a great QPR bottling. Bright red fruit with perfectly balanced acidity. Light bodied and while not overly complex I think it's a great weekday bottle to crack. WBA

  Not good this time around. Big and gloppy on night 1 then faded to a nondescript flat wine. Over the hill? I guess.

  Ladd in style (Oregon-style pinot but with more fruit), with tart acidity.
  This was an easy drinking sipper, but just didn't quite seem to have it complexity-wise.

  Very dark ruby, spicy lilac nose. On the PnP lightly dry with clean, tart, metallic mineral, moderately restrained fruit with well integrated tannins. Bright and nice, ready to drink. Very enjoyable. On night two, getting roast beef notes along with blood oranges and some spice. A bit like a subdued Syrah under the influence of Pinot, or is it the other way? Nice crystal clear acid dominant, so it must be Pinot. One heck of a wine for the money. Lovely! Night three and incredibly good with an earthy element complimenting the red berry fruit.
