A deep purple color. The nose reminds me of southern Rhone with a profile of deep and intense notes of pepper, dark fruit, a "spicy greenish herbal-action" like thyme and rosemary and a subtle underlaying sweetness to wrap it all up. The mouthfeel is medium to fullbody with a medium finish. The alcohol is actually quite well-integrated - still a powerfull taste though. Nice acidity and silky tannins makes this wine very pleasant and easy to drink. This wine is just too expensive compared to quality...

Easy drinking, quite enjoyable. Full bodied and fruit forward but still balanced - not jammy. Worked great with grilled food on a warm day in Sonoma that included grilled sausages and pulled pork sliders.

Great QPR. Easy drinking yet sophisticated nose and taste. Went well with grilled chateaubriand.
