ruby color; stewed blackberries on the nose; rich blackberry, pepper notes on the palate; brings out the best in steak. Drink soonish because past day 2, it starts to decline. A slow decline, stately, but a decline nonetheless.

Candied ripe cherry and some herbal notes on the nose. On the palate, candied cherry, some string licorice, a little spice, and a touch of tea/leafy tobacco on the lingering finish. Great mouth feel; as juicy and fruit forward as it is, the back end really dries out the sides of my mouth and allows for quite a long finish of 45+ seconds. Enjoyed this over three days. The first day it was more youthful. If drinking it all in one day I highly recommend a 2-3 hour decant. This was very good day 1, excellent day 2, and fantastic by day 3. Scott and Jana are doing Zoom events and virtual tastings during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I opened this while learning about the history of Zin in California. Still the only wine club I belong to, and a wine like this is exactly why. QPR is exceptional, and Scott and Jana are great people that are passionate about wine. 89 pts. day 1, 92 pts. by day 3. 91 pts.

ruby color; blackberry jam nose; fruit-forward, very pleasant blackberry and blueberry jam mouthful. Easy tannins, long fruity aftertaste.
