Assertively effervescent. Sour finish. Fine for mixing.

Bright and fruity and fun, if a little sweet for my taste. Great QPR

Still so much fruit and body. Drinking very well. Wish I had more!

Delightful with light strawberry flavors and mineral depth. Still can stand plenty of aging

So much sediment! Drink now

Definitely needs time to breathe/decanting

OMG delicious. You *must* decant this and let it breathe. My son actually asked it was vinegar straight from the bottle. He was literally shocked it was the same wine. End of story, totally delicious.

This bottle was so different from the other bottle we had (both stored in our cellar). Wish there could have been more consistency.

Lots of life left in this baby!

Absolutely essential to let this wine breathe!!!

Basic ordinary California Pinot noir: not super fruity, not super minerally, not super astringent, not super dry. In my opinion, not worth a repeat performance.

Deep red jammy fruit, solid minerality, prominent brine

Still drinking like a young Pinot. Give it plenty of time to open up. Delicious!

Delicious, taste like Brooklyn

Soft and supple without being thin or boring. Just the right balance of fruit and minerality.

11/12/2016 - Samadhi Likes this wine:

Just what a p.s. Should be. Not really for aging. Delicious!

A well-deserved gold medal and "best wine of Humbolt County" at this year's competition. Beautiful light style with juicy strawberries and ample minerality to build upon. Delicious now and should stand up to age well. Bravo, Bob!

Perfect drinking window! Easily mistaken for a $75-$150 cab. You can't go wrong!

This has aged beautifully! Crisp yet rich. Wish we had a couple of more bottles!

Definitely needs at least a couple of hours to open up. Drinking beautifully now. Wish we had more bottles!

Needed at least 2 hours after decanting, but totally worth it!

Nothing but thin, tannic grape juice

12/19/2013 - Samadhi Likes this wine:

Still tight and showing plenty of fruit. Much better after breathing for an hour or two. I think it may be time to start drinking the other bottles...

Great QPR. Excellent quaffable wine.

Hard to believe how youthful this baby still is. Needed a good solid three hours before drinking. Definitely not a pop and pour! Totally worth the wait.

Still hot and sweet. Fruit and balance are fading rapidly.

12/16/2012 - Samadhi Likes this wine:

Definitely on the downhill side of age. still hot, but good fruit. Time to drink 'em all.
