More Cali Red Samples (a few PNW)- Single Blind: Vibrant plum color. A deeper, darker yet more subtle nose on this one, lots of violets and cinnamon on top of the juiciest black and blueberries. Wow, what an interesting nose, so much flowers, roses and even white flowers and baby’s breath, really unique. A full and creamy approach on the palate, but the tannins provide a moderately firm grip, a bit lower than medium acid. So silky and creamy with coffee, melted chocolate, baking spices and some dried flowers. I’d love to see these complexities come out after three or four years in the cellar. Aged 18 months in 20% French oak, this Cab includes 15% Merlot and 5% Syrah.

Garnet in color. Woodsmoke & mulch in front palette, clearing to ripe raspberries and pepper. Balanced finish.

Splendid. Fruit and wood nicely integrated. A whiff of rose petals clings on this very approachable wine. QPR is formidable. Soft tannins, smooth.
