  Easy to drink. Goes well with appetizers, chicken and sea food. Gentle start with good complexity and finishes smoothly. Not acidic and nodes of vanilla, plum

  Color: inky purple hues with lighter tinge. Some translucency.
  Nose: over-ripe red fruits with a slight whiff of smoke.
  Flavor: for the forward - again, overripe dark fruits - strawberries and sweet spices predominately with come crab apple bitterness afterwards - along with some smoked oak. Flavors consistent into the middle but not much else going on. The finish is smooth. Linger is half a minute or so. Light bodied and dry verging on off dry maybe.
  
  Overpriced for what the wine accomplishes. Not great QPR, but still enjoyable, consistent Cali pinot noir. Given the region that the wine hails from, was hoping for a bit more subtlety and complexity. Other pinots out there that are of this quality for half the price. Will not get again. Drink now or hold for another year or so.
