Solid, not as spectacular as 2016. Terrific QPR at $15. It doesn’t disappoint.

Raters not fair because it's Trader Joe's...this is full fruit flavored, big berry but not biggest, balanced drinkable perfect light tannin Pinot. "Pros" say Lot 81 is 8.9...this one is "next door"figuratively...go figure. Great value.

Apr 24th, 20192017. Rustic red, medium-light color. Very light and even more subtle. Has some tart raspberry. Virtually no finish. Very dull.

Mar 10th, 2018TJs strikes again. Rich and velvety, full of bing cherry and spice, with hints of dark chocolate. Massive QPR. Just picked up, on the recommendation of one Steve Haro. There were boxes of it but this won’t last long, especially with Turkey Day upon us so stock up pronto. No doubt this would finish high in the pack in a Pinot blind.
