Kind of "meh" given that it's a reserve wine. Pretty standard WA Cabernet but lacking in the additional character I would expect from a higher end product. Good acidity, tannins are pretty fine grained. Tar and licorice on the nose. A sour red fruit palate.

Color - very dark, not quite black core with youthfull purple edges. Nose - restrained, dark purple fruit with a definite herbal streak - which I find pleasing. Palate - Dark cherries, bitter chocolate, eucalyptus/herbalness, med/long finish.
Overall - My first WA Cab and I am impressed by the QPR of this wine. Not over the top amazing - but solid.

Young, and needs to age. Will hold on to the rest of my case for a couple of years.
