  A beautiful Burgundian styled wine, with a subtle floral nose and a well balanced and long finish of tart cherry. Truly enjoyable. The wine did open up during our three-hour lunch so decanting might be a good idea or letting it mature a couple years longer. Spectator's drinking window 2018-2025 while Parker's ends at 2022.

  Not loving it nearly as much as I did at the tasting room (a tale as old as time). A nose of licorice, stems, cranberries, green herbs, some florals, and a hint of spice. Palate is similar, with drying tannins. Will sit on my other bottles for at least 5 years to see if something good comes of it. As it stands right now, awful QPR at release pricing, questionable QPR at Costco pricing ($57).
  
  Worth grabbing if your palate prefers oak on cool vintage Oregon Pinot (which is wild because this was not a cool vintage).
  
  Edit: this showed much better after 4 hours of air but the oak is still dominant. If you have this, sit on it for several more years. I'll wait until 2025 at least to open my next one.

  A wonderfully structured wine with light blueberry, mushroom, earth, and a finish of boysenberry. Awesome ! Find some.

  100% Whole Cluster and 100% new oak, very Dujac style yet not overly spicy or oaky, good fruit concentration yet a strong backbone. This will need time to show its full potential drink in 2022.
