May 7, 2011 - Very fruit forward, dark cherry/plumy notes that rapidly transition to some deeper oaky type qualities. Finish lingers with that note. Perhaps a little bitter on the finish. Minimal tannins, smooth and a nice level of acid. Pleasant to drink solo or with food - would likely go with a variety of dishes.
Not complex, but not a lot of $. Nice QPR.
