Community Tasting Notes 23

    March 23, 2024 - Nice Sonoma coast Pinot. On the nose, a lot of earth/forest floor. On the palate, mostly fruit - tart cranberry/cherry with great acidity. Not a ton of earth on the palate and no noticeable oak. Color is much darker than I expected.

    I enjoyed this wine, though the price for the 2022 vintage has gone up $10 since the Wine Spectator ranking, which makes QPR a bit challenging in my opinion for future purchases.

    I haven’t gotten any of the artificial flavors that one of the prior notes suggests from either of my two bottles.

    March 22, 2024 - Double blind. Deep color. Lovely perfume of ripe black cherry, raspberry and clay. Full-bodied with an abundance of red fruit on the palate that at times hints at boysenberry, raspberry and black cherry. Cola and sage nuances as well, with hints of warm spices in the finish. I love the purity and exuberance of the red fruit here. Satiny texture. I guessed RRV pinot. (Doc)

    January 2, 2024 - Finally finished all 6 bottles I bought approx. 4 months ago. Just a so so daily drinker. The taste of this wine is very "artificial", like a $20 twist open wine from a supermarket.

    January 1, 2024 - Huge complex fruit foward wine.
    It smells like cranberry and raspberry. It tastes like strawberry jam, strawberry, cranberry, raspberry and pistachio nut.
    The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
