Very good... Nose of earthiness, red fruits and cola. Palate is refined with red fruits and a little smokiness. A little tartness and a medium finish with well integrated tannins.
Great QPR at a $32 price in a Walgreens on Powell St. in SFO!

Dark purple/garnet in glass, rich aromas of black and red fruits. Big surprise from this vintage, as this was one of the best Cheval's we've had. Nice balance of fruit, acidity and silky tannins, emphasizing flavors of black cherry and a touch of wild strawberry, Asian spice and a hint of oak on the long, tasty finish. Classic Santa Maria fruit, and masterfully done in a tough vintage (for others).

Solid for the vintage....great fruit intensity, just a bit on the flabby side for this label, but shows flavors of wild berry, a touch of strawberry, Asian spice and red plum on the medium+ finish.
