  September 24, 2014 - A pretty wine with bright cherry, cedar, and nutmeg on the nose. Palate is balanced with a medium (-) body, spice, mustard seed, and a really silky texture. Nice. With two hours of breathing, it's showing nice vanilla and sweet candied strawberry too. This is really growing on me.

  September 17, 2014 - This is my 5th bottle of this stuff and I feel compelled yet cautious about a review. I find this bottle a phenomenal expression of the lighter style of pinot that Oregon can produce. Lots of tart berry....almost Beaujolais like. Well packaged in a nicely smooth finish of saline, cranberry, and spice. I admit I am a huge cru-bu fan so my palate is subjective. Regardless, if you are looking for a great food friendly wine with complexity, check this out! Nothing to see here if you are looking for over the top extracted pinot. Great QPR!

  November 14, 2013 - Dark cherry with little structure left. Very mild tannins. Decent acid balance, but this one is going downhill. Drink now.

  June 27, 2013 - Red berry wine.
  Red berry aromas.
  A darker aspect in the aromas. Palate again is crystalline mineral. This is day 2. Concentrated palate for the region. The 'dark' in dark cherry Kool-Aid. It has 08 going for it and great in the mid $20s.
