  This is great wine. Tastes Burgundian. Mineral, fruit and meat throughout the vertical. Really impressive for price. We should slap a DRC label on this and see what the experts would say.

  I am going out on a limb here and just say - This wine is drinking great! Its very nicely balanced between dark fruit, a certain "sauvage", spice and lift. Its not a big huge wine but rather medium bodied - yet still conveys a lot of interesting dimensions. Wonderful finish. Well done.

  This is not as full-bodied as many west coast Pinots, if blindfolded I would have guessed a French burgundy (Pinot), which was a really nice change from the over-extraction one sees with many west coast Pinots. It was elegant and delicate, but on the other hand, not timid with notes of restrained cherry fruit. I would say no more than medium-bodied, but not thin...(very good-but not spectacular) complexity and depth. Paid under $30, and I guess that's not a bad deal for Oregon Pinot which seems generally overpriced for QPR. This passes the QPT test with flying colors, single vineyard.
  Drink now, give it an hour or two of air...no pop and pour!

  Some berries, (sulfur?). Understated, light-bodied. Not memorable.

  Glad I didn't read the tasting notes below before buying. After a few disappointing PNs recently--overripe, overoaked, hot messes of all sorts--this tasted like real PN. and smelled like it too, which is a pretty big part of the enjoyment of PN. Little cinnamon, little oak, but mostly just light, ethereal red fruit and clean, floral aromas. I bought a few Maysaras from Garagiste a few years ago that I had good memories of. This did not disappoint, although not a huge bargain. You don't find a ton of good PN on the bottom shelf, so I'll accept that.
