  Have had this twice in last 6 months and it’s not ready for prime time yet. On first day decanted and drank a little over 2-3 hours, it’s too tight and tastes too tannic. A whole different experience on the second day and makes you wish you had left yesterday’s consumption in the bottle. I think the wine needs till 2022 to get better and I think it will age very well. Given the vineyards I. The area this would seam like 3-4 years and it might be peak then.

  Decanted, aerated for 1 hour, and drunk over the next 2 hours. (Had 3 bottles over a period of 2 weeks with consistent results.) Dark ruby color. Surprisingly bland nose, but this medium-bodied wine has a smooth, balanced mountain cab palate and decent finish. Not outstanding, but certainly nice QPR for just $15.
