Light in body, but nice intensity of flavor. Expressive nose of cola, violets, and strawberry fruit. Good structure, with fine tannins and bright acidity. Great with rich food (in this case, pork belly prepared with Asian spices).

Outstanding QPR! Great complexity from an entry level Oregon PN. Should drink well for the next 5-7 years. One of my all time favorite Oregon Pinots under $25. Highly recommended.

Pours a light red with nose of strawberry, cherry, rose hips and spice.
The flavor is somewhat dilute with indistinct red fruits mingling with spice. Acid is med- and tannins are well integrated and not noticeable. Built for immediate consumption it's a bit simple and lacks enough concentration to have me reaching for a second glass.

These wines are not always available here so you have to grab them when you see them; my experience reflects those of others; light almost iridescent cherry color; rose garden nose; good structure with welcome tannins, medium - acidity and light body; raspberry, earth and trailing cranberry palate with moderate length; enjoyed this bottling more than I expected after seeing the color, wanting only for a little more acidity. The color and style would be a wonderful accent for a romantic evening or mid day meal. Will grab more next time.

Muted to antiseptic on the nose. Very light red in the glass. Hints of cola. Very good structure and finish. Feel like this can open up more. When I tasted in store, I got stronger cherry cola and traditional Oregon Pinot mouthfeel.
