3/28/2021 - Swaggering Beaunie Likes this wine: NRI did not take detailed notes, but I can say that, after a 3-hour decant, the wine was delicious and it provided a very good accompaniment to our braised lamb shanks. It is in a good window now, but has the structure to go for some years yet, so there is no hurry to drink. |

3/1/2021 - Swaggering Beaunie Likes this wine: NRThis was delicious after a 4-hour decant. The body was moderately full and the tannins at just the right level. The predominant fruit was black cherry. I detected notes of vanilla, sandalwood, coriander, chocolate, and perhaps even cardamom. Drink now if you have this one; the acidity is starting to fade just a bit. It's at peak now. |

1/11/2021 - caspernick Likes this wine: 91 pointsOpaque and dark purple. The nose has a big dose of funk right off the bat- standing water comes to mind. Once past that shocker I get Napa sunshine with ripe blackberry, toasty oak and Ribena. The palate is blueberry and blackberry tart with coconut and creme. The oak influence is appreciated. Mid palate has very lithe tannins and mild acidity. Leather and tobacco appear on the finish with cassis. Really delicious as the wine progressed . 91 points and at $50 per bottle it gets 4 stars. Paired with Spinach rolled Flank Steak and Ceaser salad. Drink till 2023. |

11/4/2020 - tenor12bucks Likes this wine: 91 pointsGorgeous. Full bouquet but not obnoxious. Impeccably balanced, lovely sustained finish, complex flavors. Moderate tannins suggest this has several years of life left. Good, not great, value, but worth seeking out. |

5/25/2020 - redmancge Likes this wine: 88 pointsLast of 4 bottles and this was a starting to show it's age. Deep purple color with light tannins dark cherry fruits bit of spice and fading out on the finish. Probably time to drink it up if you've got them IMHO. At $14 it has been a good QPR Zin for weekday drinking. |

5/2/2020 - Snoman Likes this wine: 93 pointsGorgeous aromas, fruit and beautifully integrated with sweet tannins and just a spark of acidity. This label loves age on its Bordeaux grapes, and skillfully produced. Hope I have another on the rack! |

4/23/2020 - kvswine wrote: 89 pointsProbably at the end of its life, there is still lots of bright fruit, but tannins are gone. My guess is that this wine did not spend enough time in the barrell or that they were not new barrells. It lacks the structure and finish that oak soaking would give. Still it is pleasant and drinkable. |
