Nice chard, if tasting a bit clunky to me with a bit too much oak. The underlying citrus was nice and the finish and mouthfeel were great so I might wait a bit on bottles and see if the fruit emerges a bit more as the oak integrates further. That being said, other dinner companions thought it was terrific so I was in the minority not being too wowed.

Nicely aged pinot still bursting with juicy cherry and black cherry fruit and darker notes, as well as some spice. Nice chewy mouthfeel and crunchy acidity and medium finish. Great QPR for what I paid on release.

Paid $23 recently in a Benchmark sale and figured worst case it would be cooking wine. Quite the opposite and what a great QPR. Super well integrated and smooth cab from a great Napa year. Dark fruit, some sweetness and smoke and tar, and a medium+ finish. Opened up nicely over 90 minutes and went great with steak. Not a huge wine but everything perfectly in its place and exactly you want in a 25 year old cab.
