March 21, 2021 - Garnet color, floral nose. Decent fruit and also some leather. I did find the acidity lacking. Overall nice.

December 18, 2020 - From memory. Dark red color, with dark red and blue fruits on the nose and palate. Nice acidity. Definitely a warmer style pinot, but well made and does not have the "bubble gum" fruit that I get in some California pinots. I like this and great QPR.

December 2, 2020 - On par with other Tensley offerings in this line. Straightforward, slightly off balance and woody, but certainly serviceable.
Drunk over 1 night; I had a sip.

September 13, 2020 - I found this muted and with very subdued fruit and lacking in any interesting complexity. For the price it isn’t bad, just not on par with Tensely’s cab or Chardonnay.
