60 minute decant. Toasty oak nose with black currant, vanilla, and shredded coconut. Dense palate delivers boadloads of black cherry, chocolate, mocha, red currant and coffee. Fresh sage leads into finish of lingering French oak and fat tannins with sweet creme brulee, espresso crema, and vanilla been. Robert Parker might have called this "sexy" or "hedonistic"... it's a well done version of a plush Napa style. Great with a steak.

A very tasty full flavored cab! Soft tannins with blackberry and lingonberry fruit tasting notes, and very nicely balanced. Ready to drink now, and may improve a bit in the coming year.

Dark ruby color. Some tannins but starting to soften. Definitely on the early end of drinking window say in the glass for 45 minutes before drinking. Excellent wine

Dark purple and dense. Boysenberry and licorice on the nose. Licorice, vanilla, classic Napa cabernet on the palate. Certainly could use some more aging but quite approachable now. QPR was so-so

Exceptional balanced wine. Will get better with age but already soft tannins and beautiful fruit. Exceptional value for a beckstoffer.
