May 15, 2020 - PnP, but better after 15 - 20 minutes of slo-ox to allow the funk to blow off and the wine to open. Nice nose of cedar, red fruit, and a touch of floral. The medium bodied palate showed the red fruits (cherry and raspberry), along with wood notes, and touches of mineral, chocolate, and earth. The acidity was balancing and the finish was medium to plus. A nice effort that could hold for several more years, with a great QPR at $14.
