Color ruby red. Fairly big nose of cherries, baking spices, touch of oak. Raspberry cherry fruit on the attack, with same fruit and some pepper on midpalate and an extended finish. Smooth velvety mouthfeel and soft tannin structure. Not terribly complex, but very good to excellent depth of fruit reflecting the vintage. Alcohol 14.5 so it does not burn hot and at least does not come off as an over the top fruit bomb.

Crimson red with long, thick, legs. Nose of raspberry, white pepper, and hint of vanilla. Cinnamon spice with raspberry up front. Midpalate of vanilla and a hint of cocoa. Nice long finish. Awesome QPR, need to stock up.

Not a particularly interesting wine. The acidity was high and the wine completely unbalanced.
