Opens nicely with perfect fruit and smooth tannins. Restrained for a Red Mountain wine, in a good way. Beautiful color, nice nose and balance. Extremely long finish and perfect mid-pallet. Probably at its peak right now. Only negative is a lack of complexity, but still an outstanding sipping wine.

Ready to drink, now. Wonderful, wish I had more. Not a BIG wine like so many with Red Mtn fruit. The nose is dark cherry and blackberry; flavors of same, without savory dimensions or a tannin backbone that would have made it great. The finish goes on forever. Mid-level QPR.

This was a sleeper, started off disjointed but really opened up after a couple of hours.

Popped and decanted for about an hour. This wine is very nice and very well balanced. Slightly spicy nose and a long smooth finish. Yummy.
