Community Tasting Note

• ISOPinot Likes this wine: 85 points

  April 10, 2021 - Ruby to rose to pale, watery rim. Medium legs. Aromas are red fruit dominant: cherry/sour cherry, then raspberry, then hint of strawberry. A bit of eucalyptus, but very subtle . Very light toast; not oaky. No smoke, no vanilla. On the palate, a hint of dust emerges and aromas then strengthen. Flavors definitely more pronounced than aroma. Medium body, smooth yet narrow texture. Medium finish, medium + acidity. Grenache dominant, then = amounts Syrah and Carignane. At this stage, the Carignane influence outweighs the Syrah. This wine may be at or just past prime. At about $26, QPR is average at best. But the flavors being stronger than the aromas adds interest, as does the acidity. Tasted over 4 days; staying power evident. Most definitely, drink now.
