I thought I had posted on this before, but couldn't find a TN. Cherry defines this one. Bright cherry red color, with a pretty cherry nose and fat, thick, cherry pie flavors. This one seemed a bit angular and acidic in the past, but it rounded out so nicely that I wish I had some left. Nice texture and appropriate acidity. Good Pinot, and good QPR. Paid $15 locally. Alc. 13%. FWIW, WS only gave it an 83. I would have agreed a year or two ago, but not now.
