  Beautiful, transparent ruby red color. Lovely floral nose with hints of strawberry. Smooth, elegant and rich on the palate. Strawberry, cherry, moist earth. Fine tannins, bright acidity, brilliant balance. Finishes long, bright with strawberry, licorice and minerals. Gorgeous bottle of wine.

  Cherry red at the center fading to translucence at the edges. Fragrant cherry and strawberry aromas. Polished on the palate, deep strawberry and cherry flavors with a hint of warm spice. Fine tannins, soft acidity, great balance. Finishes long and gradual and spicy. Lovely. Drink next 3 years.

  Vibrant, translucent red. Spicy nose of strawberries. Smooth and spicy on the palate, strawberry and cherry, nice earthy note. Nice minerality. Fine tannins, bright acidity, great balance. Finishes long and gentle with red fruits. A lovely Pinot Noir. Drink next 4 to 5 years.

  PnP. Had with grilled pork tenderloin.
  Wow- Aromatics jumping from the glass. Some spice, red fruit (cherry, rasberry, strawberry, tart cranberry). Medium body, well balanced. Heavy on the cranberry,but the forest floor, spice and herbs balance it out. Finish is med+ and very enjoyable. Well made high quality pinot. This will be a croud pleaser.
  
  Not the best fit for the grilled pork with pinaple habenaro glaze (as the heavy cranberry kind of clashed). Although this would be great with thanksgiving Turkey. Much more enjoyable after dinner by itself. Excited to try the other three sticks offerings.
  
  Would not buy this again as qpr is challenged and felt this was kind of a tweener between CA and Oregon and would rather just go one way or the other (ie 2018 Roserock Zephirine OG or 2019 Phelps Freestone CA if found at similar pricepoint).

Med acidity, med body, med alcohol, med body, med flavor intensity and med finish. Nice fruit, pepper, vanilla, nice creamy touch, slight watery finish. Nice.
