Drink Dates 2013+

A ripe and very pretty nose artfully blends both red and blue pinot fruit that is trimmed in subtle violet and mint hints that leads to round and rich middle weight flavors that possess fine intensity and volume on the solidly long finish. This delicious offering could easily be enjoyed now but should also age well.

($35) Vivid red. Strawberry, raspberry and spicecake on the nose, with a sexy sandalwood quality. In a distinctly vibrant style, with the sexy spice and red berry qualities following through in the mouth. Sappy and fine-grained wine, finishing on a suave note of candied flowers. This will be the last vintage for this wine.

Just Awesome, great balanced and complex pinot. Nose was sublime, finish even better. QPR outstanding too bad they don't really make these anymore.

another great bottle but not nearly as open as previous bottle. subtle but gorgeous, elegant nose-flavors to match. I gave this 3 hours of air and it wasn't enough. I would hold another 2 years at least.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
