Medium garnet red, dark for a pinot. Aromas of leather, plum, and a blend of cherry, strawberry and raspberry. Also had hints of vanilla and carmel. Flavors of plum, strawberry, smoke and leather. Acids and tannins were present and at this time not in harmony. I expect since this wine is still young, there may be time for these two to play nice with each other. Medium finish. For the price, a pleasant, no expectation wine.

Cloudy red with ruby highlights. Creamy strawberry with a touch of white pepper on the nose. Raspberries and spicy bing cherries, muted acid, woody tannins and a lingering finish. Pretty good, about right for the price.

Aromas of cherry and mushrooms. Flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry with enough oak to give it a little spiciness. Medium length finish and for the price was very good. In the year since it was first reviewed I'm sure the oak has toned down quite a bit, adding a nice complexity and bit of tannin to the otherwise smooth finish. I think I'll have another glass.

Great QPR! Cherry, Strawberry, burnt toast aroma. Very long finish for this price point. Somewhere around 86-88, but for $16 pinot I'm not sure it can be topped.

Great QPR. I didn't find it over-oaked, and I'm not an oak fan.
