Fun to have straight counoise. Cherry/strawberry, but not fruit forward. Tons of acid. Lovely with BBQ on hot day

Fantastic balance. Could still use another 3-5 years at least. Good QPR especially from this producer

Score reflects current state. A little past, but still enough fruit and structure to be enjoyed.

Amazingly still there. Lost back end structure, but still has fruit. Prune, black cherry, and raisin. Good wines can still be made in bad years.

Usually like Guilliams cabs, but this one was too much of a pyrazine bomb. Couldn't get passed the green pepper to appreciate the blackberry nose and all spice, apricot finish.

My wife disagreed and loved it- so there's that

Still with surpisingly chewy tannins, somewhat muted fruit with blackberry, plums, coffee. Medium minus acid. A little bitter

Forest floor, prunes, spice on the nose. Medium - acid, supple tannins. Hints of red fruit remain on the palate. Long finish.
