Lovely nose--floral, cherry, touch of vanilla, the light-on-its-feet middleweight champ--still on the more extracted side than some Sonoma Coast PNs, but without the heat and the jamminess. Kept improving on the night and the last glass was the best. Will hold the other for a few years down the line--no hurry at all on this wine.

Pop and pour. Lovely fruit, still a bit tannic, but drinking very well. Could use a couple of years, except this was my last one.

Gorgeous balance right now. Lovely cool cherry/spice/tar/roses on the palate. Velvety texture, medium finish. All around, fantastic QPR.
