Sweet plum nose doesn’t translate to the flavors…luckily, rich berry, instead. A mineral element gives good complexity, fine tannins give it a touch of chewiness, the acid is in balance. The finish, thanks to the acid, is juicy-to-start, but medium in length. Very good value. Second of three bottles. The first, just 2 months ago, seemed a tad over-extracted. Can’t believe it’s evolution, so it must be bottle variation or my taste buds.

Classic cab nose, suggesting it’s going to be bigger/riper than it is in the mouth. Red fruits and açaí berry are pleasing on an iron frame, with dusty tannins. Hold for another year or give a long decant.

This is a pretty big wine for a Sonoma Cab. Great structure but lacked on the finish. Plenty of fruit and intense on the nose. All in all, great QPR.
