88 is a bit optimistic or perhaps this is fading quickly now. Not enough power, fruit, or acidity to hold my attention for very long. Not particularly strong in any sense. Would not buy again.

Bright, vibrant red and blue fruit in the glass. Very new world in style. Little too much oak and tannin on the finish for me. New world palates will like this wine.

what a nice little value discovery compliments of Costco. Light and red fruit driven as you would expect from Carneros. Nice balance of body and acidity; meaty enough mid-palate, and nothing off-putting. Can't ask for much more for a Pinot under $20.
Clear, bright garnet color with a somewhat savory character on the nose. Mouthfeel is rich but not cloying and acid is present. Not a particularly fruit forward wine this one gets by on structure and solid fundamentals. Definitely a good example of the Carneros region Pinots. Very good QPR at $16

Very light. Not very good. Don’t buy again.

A Pinot my wife enjoys. That's a win! All kidding aside, I enjoy the depth here.

Very good representation of Carneros Pinot. Very elegant with a medium finish that makes you want to drink more.
