I always open a GTS with fond memories of my childhood watching Mr. Seaver pitch for the NY Mets including enjoying him banter with his teammates (Bud Harrelson, Jerry Grote, et al) on Kiner's Korner after another pitching gem. The passion he brought to the game is also evident in the wine bearing his initials. I know Tom spent endless hours tending the vines ensuring the bounty produced was the best it could be...
The wine itself is just fantastic..endless blue and black fruits with a complexity on the palate that keeps you going back for more. And the finish sails on and on...Thanks Tom, your legend lives on!

Definitely a lighter style CDP potentially needing more time to (hopefully) put on some weight and complexity. I would give this until at least 2025 before opening another bottle.

If you are looking for a good QPR... check out Rudius. They are offering vintage wines at a fair price. The Kailey is fantastic! It is owned by Jeff Ames who makes TOR. Cheers! Dan

This has really benefited from 10 years in the cellar...an excellent NPV Syrah with dark berry flavors and a long finish.
