Still vibrant and full of fruit with ample backbone. A full, robust merlot with bright Mt. Veeder fruit. My previous notes stand. This is an excellent Merlot with notes of cherry, raspberry and a hint of oak.

This was dark inky purple colored and full bodied with full, forward, flavorful fruit of black raspberry, a layers of spice and dark mocha with a hint of cassis on a big long lingering finish. In a blind tasting this might have passed as a big Aussie shiraz!

I am not a Merlot fan but this is one of the best. Medium burgundy color with light floral notes on the nose. Soft tannins but very fruit forward with a touch of the astringency I associate with Mt. Veeder fruit. A hint of oak on the finish. Well balanced with more structure than most Merlot.

Very good. Great QPR! Should be even better with another year or two of age.
