December 25, 2021 - Purple fading to garnet; rim variation consistent with age. Very good clarity. Medium + legs. Aromas are primarily red fruit: red currant, raspberry. More subtle are blueberry, baking spices and soy. Medium + body, smooth and polished texture. On the palate, blueberry & spices intensify; overall, palate intensity exceeds aroma. Medium - acidity. Long finish. Tasted over 4+ days. The finish had staying power. At $58 with tax & shipping, given 2021 cost of Napa Cab, QPR is average. Wine was purchased in 2006. A very special treat for the holidays. Elegant. Drink now. Be wary of the cork; ours crumbled and the last half had to be carefully extracted. Stood vertical for 3 days prior to opening.

June 2, 2018 - Once again a let down. Drink now as this is in decline. Started with classic aroma's of a Cali Cabernet, but again it did not follow through with depth or balance. Lighter wine with cedar and cherry fruits that dominate the flavors.
It has a short to medium finish with no special notes other than its acidity which has begun to replace tannin notes.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 6, 2018 - Deep, garnet, earthy. Smooth, blackberry, dark fruit, plum, graphite. Nice finish. Considering the age, nice drinking wine. I think I enjoyed more than the community.
