Picked up my glass, swirled a bit and got some fruity notes on the nose. Some oak too.[6] Took a taste and got a mouthful of nice wine, but no real complex flavors. IMG_5255Not a typical full bodied cab, more medium bodied without much texture. Husband and Friend also did not get much flavor out of this wine, although Husband said he tasted some orange peel on the finish. I didn’t get that. It was very drinkable and made the parmesan cheese pop very nicely in my mouth. We were doing a bit of pre-gaming for a cocktail pairing dinner we were heading too, so we didn’t get involved in any foods beyond the cheese.[7] Overall, a very nice wine if you’re looking for a good deal[8] and something to drink, but this is certainly not going to make any sommeliers take a second sip.

Thick blackberry, herbs, dill; low mostly oak tannin, medium acid. Okay.

Decent cab and more than fairly priced. Slightly fruit forward and the oak seems like it might have a little american oak based on the dill.

Good QPR. Not as bad as people are saying or maybe bottle variation, and I won.

Commercial stuff. Thick and "smooth" and super fruity.
