    October 31, 2020 - Typical cali Syrah flavors, smooth and lush, meaty. A little flat in the mid palate, medium finish. Decanted 2 hrs, try more next bottle.

    August 16, 2016 - I bought a bunch of these and sort of forgot about them. Every time I return back with low expectations and every time I come away impressed. Very well made, clearly Californian syrah, that touches a lot of pleasure sensors for drinkers. Stylistically, it's big and a bit soft, but the fruit is really nice and some secondary savory flavors have developed. I don't know if the QPR is a winner, but they are nice, well made wines.
