May 20, 2023 - Pretty nice wine. Not as big or as dark I thought it might be (which is a plus) as it has a nice balance to it. A bit non descript though in the midweight pinot class.

May 19, 2023 - In contrast to the first bottle, this ended up being very enjoyable; nearly impressive. Lithe and balanced, without the tart acidity that was so prominent in the first bottle but rather, nicely integrated and balanced. That said, I’m not sure that it was as impressionable or enjoyable as their QPR, entry level Lyra.

June 30, 2021 - So, I immediately loved it…because I wanted to. Great, fruit-forward scents of dark red; nearly blue fruit. More subdued in the mouth but then I slammed on the breaks!..because I sensed that quirky acidity that bums me out! Luckily it settled down; almost entirely. That said, at 2/3 the price, I’m a huge Lyra Fan!
