Never thought Syrah and Pinot would work in a blend, but this one certainly does. Softness of the Pinot, earthiness of the Syrah ... Ripe fruit nose, soft mouthfeel, and a lingering spicy finish. Interesting and good.

Not horribly complex. This is a fun, fruit forward wine with pepper on the back palate. A great everyday table wine that drinks like a pinot noir and pairs like a syrah. Wine maker Lynn Penner-Ash gets the blending thing from years at Rex Hill and Stags Leap.

Very drinkable table wine that stands up to enjoyment by itself. Smooth fruit forward spicy blackcurrent with minimal tannins. Would buy again.

Started with an almost fizzy mouthfeel that quickly dissipated as I let it sit. More acidic than I remember. Good fruit nose though.

A good solid dinner wine. QPR is great.
