Deep ruby in the glass. Showing blueberries, light vanilla oakiness, and and some of the more earthy notes from the cab franc portion of the blend. well integrated tannins. This is a good wine but poor QPR.

Think this wine is nice now but could be excellent if it picks up some weight and fills out. This blend has the complex fruit flavors one would expect in a lighter bodied frame. Decent balance and life. Started to soften and blossom with air after about an hour or so. Nice but not exciting or memorable at this stage.

The 2018 Claret showcases the deep lush accessibility the vintage. Its attractive perfume scents the glass with violets blueberries and warm Marionberries. The entry. is full of appetizing and concentrated black cherries warm red licorice and wild raspberries. The lovely balance that is framed in this Claret is framed in Lavender and Cinnamon cumin and talc notes. Coating and long, this beauty of a wine finishes with a succulent display of red apple tart, puffed pastry and lingonberry tart.

Good wine, but not a great QPR. Been wanting to try one of these for a while, so mission accomplished.
