Monday, October 5, 2020 - Wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away at the QPR on this wine. I believe it is 14.7, and upon initial PnP, seemed a bit "boozey" on the nose, but once in glass, blew off quickly.

On the palate mostly black fruit with an intermingling of some red tossed in, with some nice spice elements and some oak influence, but definitely well integrated.

These were ready to go 'outta the gate' but definitely benefited with some air in glass, and think it could have benefited with a short decant, maybe pop 1 pt.

For a sub $30 bottle of Napa Cab, Atlas Peak District, this might be my favorite under $50 I've tried all year!!

I actually went back to pick up the remaining few bottles.. hard to come by these little diamonds in the rough, but when ya find um... stock up!
