Tasty. Fruit forward, lovely acid balancing the sweet residual sugar. Great QPR.

Had over about 2.5 hours. Really nice Cali Pinot - great balance - especially consider the age on this on for a inexpensive CA Pinot.

I'm rounding up because my wife likes it a lot mi find this wine to be a bit tart - sour cherry -- forward. The real saving grace is in the late body and finish where garrique emerges. There are few tannins left, so I think the wine is near end of days. Drink up!!

Medium garnet color, some fruit and alcohol on the nose. Medium body with tart cherry and a touch of tobacco.
