How is it possible that this blend, raised by Stolpman's vineyard crew ("La Cuadrilla") could produce such an eminently enjoyable, gluggable wine?? I'm sure this wine wasn't meant to age 5 years - but it is as fresh and terrific as it was at the pre-release tasting four years ago! Super red fruits on the nose, an exploding palate of meaty, ripe cherry, strawberry (Grenache) plums, and spicy tomato (Sangio).. Medium bodied with light tannins and a juicy, slightly sweet finish. Every winery should be able to make a terrific QPR wine like this!! Thanks Tom and Pete!

Nice ruby-purple color with fresh red berries on the nose with some cranberry and spices thrown in. Gobs of relatively sweet fruit on the palate with some cranberries, plums and cola on the finish. Drinking great now, could last a few more years.

Gobs of cherry fruit, some smoke and a dry finish in a great package. Drink soon

Wonderful cherry fruit with soft round edges. Balanced. Drinks very good now but should improve with another year.
