Sound bottle. Ripe fruit, confected sweetness, really tastes very young. Simple and sweet, lacks structure and acidity. First glass was drinkable but my palate tired very quickly of this and I couldn't choke down another glass.
Nice dark color. I really like this wine-- cherry and plum that has a plush mouthfeel. Not super complex, but begs for the next sip. I think this is a really nice wine, and a very good QPR. 89.5 2/5/10

Dark. Cooked plums and jammy fruit on the nose, some hints of chocolate. Fairly sweet, jammy, rich, some heat. Strong fruity California style that is pretty boring but not bad.

Glad I waited on this one. Followed a 2002 Raymond Reserve Cabernet and wasn't far behind in quality.
