Mouth filling, dark fruits, black cherry and heady pinot nose. Consistent with previous bottles, fruity and slightly sweet, dark, rich, smooth, leggy and turning into a house pinot....much above average but they all seem to need 3 years or more.

Very nice first and second day open. Rich and smooth fruit, dark and delicious. Smooth tannins, adaquet finish. Nothing wrong with this wine, yet it doesn't reach "greatness". Never the less, good QPR.

Very sweet and rich fruit, this is a black fruit pinot not the light garnet light cherry. Big on the fruit yet seems balanced and just a joy to drink. Probably a better stand alone pinot than a lighter more acidic one which would work better with a meal.

Our own Jugement de Paris with 10+ years old affordable wines (Our House, San Jose, CA): This was outstanding tonight! Generous nose with a multiple layers of red fruits. Rich, smooth palate. Tasted blind ans identified as a California pinot in our line-up tonight.

tight and backward. hopefully just an awkward stage because I have another 3 bottles. It sure isn't showing the rich fruit of it's youth.

Dark bright garnet in color, held up against enchilidas. Not much on the nose when opening but got better in about 30 mins.

Rich and smooth, lots of legs for a pinot. Mixture of red and black fruit, and looks like a cab.
