Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 13, 2020 - Rated 94 by WA and JS. I've considered this cab to be a "sleeper" over the years as the QPR has been consistently good to exceptional. The 2016 vintage, at first tasting, trends to the latter on my QPR scale. So much going on here, especially considering the relative youth of this wine. Classic Cali cab aromas with violet, blackberry, cherry and herbal notes predominate. Initial hint of sweetness is followed by drying tannins that are evident but reasonably integrated. Flavors of baking spice, plum, vanilla, cinnamon, chicory and dark pepper, with other layered elements leading me to believe that complexity will develop further with more time in the cellar. Medium-full mouthfeel, velvety texture and silky smooth finish round out this high quality offering. Getting more.
