May 23, 2023 - PnP, but better after 10 minutes of air allowing some funk to blow off. Overall, our impression is that the red fruit flavors have begun to fade as the earthy and spicy notes were quite prominent. The acidity was quite juicy as well, while any tannins were completely integrated. Probably better a couple of years ago.

July 23, 2019 - Pale ruby color. Lush aromas of cherry and red roses on the nose. The wine is dry and smooth. Intense red fruit flavors such as cherry, pomegranate, and cranberry on the palate. Additional notes of spice, wood, and tea. Acid is medium, tannins are low, alcohol is medium. Delicious Bien Nacido pinot. Great QPR for $30 at K&L.
