  I may be shorting this a point. This was a futures purchase from the winery and this was the first bottle that I have tried. I shared this with my wine group and we all loved it. I'm sure it will age great, although I'll drink a few bottles this and next year as it is in a great place now, Soos Creek is a consitent QPR winner!

  Wow, this wine is spectacular in all aspects. Pop and pour with no decant. Fragrant nose with fruit, spice and fresh cut stone. The mouthfeel is silky and rich with beautiful balance and texture. No sense of heaviness on the palate. The finish is long and rich, yet elegant. I paid $35 for this wine as a future, but would put it up against $100 plus bottles without hesitation.
  
  Revisiting this after vacuuvinning for two days. Still fresh and vibrant, portending a long life ahead. However, it is exceptional in its youth.
  
  For those of you familiar with Soos Creek wines, this is the best I’ve had from them. Second best was the 2008 Champoux Vineyard cabernet, followed closely by the 2017 Ciel Du Cheval.

  Dave Larsen must be a magician. It is mind bending to think that I was able to buy this for $35 a bottle as a future. This red mountain beauty can hang with most $100 Napa Cabs. Milk chocolate, black cherry, blackberry, graphite and fresh cut herbs on the nose and palate. Great on day 1, but even better on day 4.

  Oh my! This is wonderful. Perfectly balanced. Silky tannins, rich fruit and a long finish. First of six…wish I had ordered a case!
