June 23, 2007 - Popped and poured. Dark fruits, plums and currant with toasty oak notes. Full bodied with medium tannins 20 second finish. One of my all time favorite QPRs.

December 2, 2006 - Color is rich purple, but with some brown hues - not ruby purple. I was very pleased with the nose, which is bold, showing blackberry jam and leather, some white pepper and a slight alcohol odor that I bet will go away with decanting, but I don't have the patience with this first glass. Ripe fruit, Shiraz-like pepper, somewhat dry, and extremely clean finish with a very slight sour fruit and pepper hue to it. Any tannins are graciously smoothed over, almost to be non-existent. Texture is like a big pinot - not quite as big as a cab. I always hope for huge fruit taste and nose (in particular) like the 2003 Franciscan cabernet sauvignon and this delivers only slightly, but is very enjoyable, has a great finish, and is definitely worth the money paid. This is so far one of the most likely candidates for a daily red. Likely I will write more again, once I can decant it properly.
