Rich yellow and buttery color. Overwhelming lychee, honey and vanilla on the nose. Smells like a tropical fruit salad, with a touch of starfruit, Skittles and Fruity Pebbles. Not nearly as sweet in the mouth as it smells. There's a hint of sweetness upfront, but it quickly turns to a dry, slightly acidic, mineral finish. In the mouth, we're getting more crispness and plums, apples and pears.

It's still a little too sweet for our tastes, but still an enjoyable wine. Still, great QPR as with all of the Lenz wines. Very well made.

A lot of earthiness, leather, barnyard floor on the nose, which overpowers the fruit a little. A little blackberry, rustic fruit, currant also on the nose. Gorgeous, rusted ruby color. Same Flavors on the nose upfront. Slight acidity, still very tannic - super, super dry on the finish. Beautiful wine... We should have been a little more patient with it. With a little more age, we would have scored a little higher - but still a LITTLE too dry.
