  January 11, 2009 - Smell: alcohol, prune, dried black cherry, some horse blanket, wet bark
  
  Taste: alcohol is blowing off, cranberry, no acid, all alcohol burn, no finish.

  February 7, 2008 - 87-88 pts. Nice PN with dark black cherry and spice on the palate. Not silky smooth, slightly astringent with a bit of slight bitterness. Some complexity from the sour dark cherry and spice. Nice wine, but not great QPR. Classic RRV flavors.

  January 25, 2008 - Deep ruby color. Nose of floral, spicy, raspberriness. Taste is medium bodied, but still has a light and smooth mouhtfeel. Heavy red and black berry flavors. It makes me wonder where the "pinotness" has gone. This tastes more like a light and fruity Syrah to me than a Pinot. Enjoyable enough, but not what I look for in a Pinot.

  December 30, 2007 - Better than previous bottle, but really pretty mediocre RRV pinot. OK QPR for $13 closeout price. Not worth $25-30 full retail.

  November 7, 2007 - Great nose. Had floral berry taste but a very short finish. Not quite as nice as the 2005 offering.
