  Pinot Noirs (2-OR, 2-RRV, & 2-Sonoma Coast) (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "A blend of our P.N. clones: Dijon 777, 667, 115, & 114, Pommard, and Wädenswil, with Pommard being the dominant clone. Fermented with native yeast in s/s tanks & our oak fermenter, it sees full malolactic conversion during its 12-mo elevage period in 30-35% new FR oak, the remaining oak % being neutral. It was racked in July 2017 & kept in s/s for another 6 mos to gain extended time on lees & marry the blend before bottling in Dec 2017. 14% ABV, 5.8 g/L T.A., & 3.54 pH;" 4,800 cases made.
  
  N: RIPE berries (plums?), poss red rasps?
  
  P: Med body; Rndish entry with very NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which stays within hailing distance of the init frt as it seamlessly transitions into a LONG, balanced, very, VERY slightly bitterish finish with an enticing swtness to the few, firming, dusty tannins. NEEDS through '20, then drinking into '24. An impressive wine @ this price! My EXC, *poss* higher for QPR? 93 pts Vinous (Raynolds, 6/'19), 92 Suckling (11/'18), and 91 ea WS, WA, & WE (12/1/18) @ $50. [Check with this vendor if interested in their very COMPETITIVE price.]
  
  Note: Also tasted on 5/4, 7/6, & 11/23/19, + 1/11/20.
