Deep ruby. Med+ blackberry jam, black cherry, ripe plum, cassis, sweet tobacco, vanilla, milk chocolate, sweet baking spices, cinnamon. Lots of toasty new oak influence. Dry, but with tons of sweet fruit. Med (-) to med acid, soft tannins and high alcohol (14.5% which actually seems higher). Full-bodied, with med+ flavor intensity and length. Drink or hold, but not likely to improve with further aging. Classic CA Cab, but a bit unbalanced. Pretty good QPR nevertheless, if you like this style.

86 Apr 2023 🐽 blueberry pie filling. 👅 Round, sweet black cherry, strawberry cough syrup, vanilla, nutmeg. Somewhat high alcohol and high sugar. Overall there's a time and place for this, it's not terrible.

Last one and I’m glad waited another year per a few reviews. No decanting. Enjoyed at a Italian restaurant. Wine opened up very nicely. Nice fruits and long soft finish. A great balanced wine.
