P: MF, poss Med body; Youthful, structured entry. Though plenty of fruit, the astringency is currently atop. VERY long. Set down for 2-3 yrs. AMAZING QPR @ $9.95, upon which my score is based. 90 pts Vinous, 88 pts WA. 13.5% ABV.

The nose has floral notes of rose and lavender mixed with black fruits. On tasting, the attack is smooth with black fruits, which persists through the mid-palette. The finish is tart and spicy, with undertones of anise. The wine is fruit-forward, but the tart finish seems to indicate that it could benefit from aging. Overall, a smooth Cabernet Sauvignon that would pair well with a hearty meal.
