Of the four botles I've had, this would rank 2nd and notably consistent with the 1st and 3rd; skirting the bright fruit but with nice balance. Most notable is that this value wine garners contemplation. Now, 4 of 7 bottles in, it's worthy of a "highly recommended".

This bottle quite literally split the difference. Not a hint of over-ripe simplicity from my last bottle and though it had structure, it lacked the complexity and intrigue of my first. An acceptable compromise/median.

(Comment: much more fruit forward - nearly off-dry - than the first bottle. Likewise, that zingy acidity is missing. In reading the reviews, I'm prep'd for some significant bottle variation. This bottle probably an 84 but I'll refrain from rating until I've made it through a couple more.)

Nicely done. On the oaky side. Standard WA in all regards, perhaps a bit over priced.

A tad ripe but overall, a solid QPR. Held strong into day three!
