Still tasting good, plenty of fruit. More earthy finish than I recall, probably the aging affect. Seems to have another 3-5 years left it in without too much decline. Well made, good QPR.

Hey all, don't give up on this one. Just opened a couple of bottles and it's drinking well. Not much decanting needed, still showing plenty of fruit.

Still in its prime and has another 3 years before it might begin to fade.
Definitely an interesting blend. Still plenty of dark berry fruit, blackberry in particular and soft tannins. I'd pair it with a beef stew or similar mellow beef dish but it's a good drinker on its own.

Well made wine still holding up. Most of the fruit has faded but very balanced....enjoy! Still has a few years left.

Very well made wine yet WAY too young. Would recommend cellaring at least another 5 years before trying it again.

Still drinking fine. Plenty of aged fruit with softer tannins. High alcohol hits you. Decanted for 2 hours and drank over 3 hours.

Black cherry, still firm tannins...acidity makes this better to pair with food...would be excellent with short ribs.
I'd hold for another year or two to allow the tannins to soften. Still plenty of dark fruit to last.

Drank last night with bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and it was a great pairing. It's drinking very well right now.

Decanted for 2 hours. Still plenty of fruit, soft tannins, longer finish, in a good place right now and would recommend drinking now but still has years of life.

Still drinking well. Fruit still there but in mature stage now. Would drink up now as it is still very enjoyable.

Wow! My first Quilceda and it was amazing! Having had Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Bond and other fantastic wines, I would continue to purchase this. Yes, perhaps the others are better, this is a great value for such a wonderfully integrated wine. Wow, Well done!

Good yet not my style....too barnyard for us

Very good but should have waited at least another year or two.

Well integrated, tasting great with still a good amount of fruit. My inventory is done and I would recommend drinking now before it fades.....probably still have another year before diminishing.

Enjoyed. Great QPR. I'd consider this a year away from peaking.....more of a drink now style.

Pnp...venturi'd....and was great! In a good place right now with a couple more years of integration and it will be even better....not sure my remaining 5 bottles will last that long though because we are enjoying it tremendously right now!

Tight upon opening. Would recommend a 2 hour decant then it was more balanced and enjoyable. Still had plenty of fruit. I'd hold for another year or two before opening.

Bought at winery upon release and stored in wine cellar since. Decanted 2 hours. Drinking very well right now. Plenty of fruit and silky tannins with a medium length finish. Well integrated.

Was concerned given previous posts but was fortunate that this bottle was not flawed. Yes, a different pinot style, but still full of fruit and nice clean finish. A bit more earthy than other Cali pinots that I've had but felt it was a well made and enjoyable.

Still drinking very well. Fresh fruit, smooth tannins. Still has several years of life.

Wow! Drinking extremely well. Anyone selling? Great pairing with the BBQ ribs tonight. Very well balanced with enough strength for the BBQ.

Still has some years to it but is tasting well now. Awesome nose and great fruit forward sweet taste. It married well with the lamb-based red meat sauce over penne dinner my wife cooked for us.

Decanted 2 hours. Still holding fruit, great aroma and well balanced. Maturing with soft tannins. Drinking very well right now. In search of some more bottles.
