  A little tart and unbalanced, but pleasantly fruity and enjoyable for the price.

  Still going strong. Prior tasting note still applies. This is tasting very good right now. No alcohol bite at all as others have indicated.

  A very sold Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley, CA. Lasted very well over 2 days until it was gone. 14.2% alcohol. No alcohol hotness to it. Nice fruit with the typical Pinot Noir nose to it. Pinot Noir to me has a particular rubber nose to it but not in a bad way. Can't beat the QPR on wine.woot. This is quite good and would buy again (another vintage) if ever offered again on wine.woot. Glad I have 2 more bottles.

  I really enjoyed this Pinot with food and as a stand-alone drinker. I habitually decant every wine I open and this was no exception. I tasted a sip before aerating and decanting and it was very nice even then. After decanting about 30 minutes, it mellowed out even more and was excellent with a spicy shrimp dish.

  Extremely solid pinot. Potentially a little on the hot side, but it didn't bother me. Plenty of lush fruit (currant, blackberry) and some hints of spice held up by a mesh net of tannins. I was extremely pleased with the bottle and will probably be drinking my other soon, this wine is exactly where I like a pinot to be.
