July 21, 2023 - I really have little to say of this wine. I forced myself to write something, rather than merely cop out and say nothing.
It has good Oregon pinot fruit,with typical red fruit characteristics. A touch of VA. And that's about it.
It cost me over $30. I DON'T consider that good qpr, as there are COUNTLESS wines I really enjoy I'd rather consume at that price level. -

November 25, 2022 - Carefully crafted, w/ a mix of 33% whole cluster fermentation, 30% extended maceration and 10% aged for 11 months in new French oak. Med ruby. Unfined. Med+ candied strawberry, black raspberry, hibiscus, violets, incense, cinnamon & sweet oak spice. Dry, but w/ plenty of juicy fruit. Med acidity, med tannin & med+ alcohol (13.6%). Med body, w/ med+ intensity & length w/ fresh fruit and exotic Eastern spices on the finish. A really nicely balanced, fresh and approachable PN. Drink now through 2024. Still fresh, lively and primary at 4 yrs. Great QPR.

May 3, 2020 - Pre release tasting. Fruit impact is solid and compelling. Tannins still showing some grip, which will certainly resolve in 1-2 years time when's released. Solid qpr.
