  You can tell this was from a cooler years. Not the big bold fruits that I am used to with Washington Cab. A hint of smoke on the nose. Some herbal notes. Round with crunchy acidity. Very complex. So much going on here that it is hard to identify all of the elements I am picking up here. Very good mid palate. Nice persistent finish. An excellent effort and QPR.

  Tasted after 2 hours of air. Some green pepper notes on the nose. Red berry fruits. Fine grained tannins provide excellent balance. Some cassis. Nice complexity. Medium finish.

  Tasted on day 2. Nice round red berry fruit. Some fine grained tannins provide grip. Well balanced. Some pepper notes. Medium finish. Very nice effort.

  Smooth and delicious. It held its own against some acknowledged great wines.
