Dark red color with a black cherry and slight green leaf smell. Smooth mouth entry with red and black cherry fruit, a touch of fruit sweetness, an undertow of firm acidity and tannin, and a good overall concentration.

Super floral bouquet, fruity, medium body, absolutely delicious. Wish I had a lot more! Oh well; will try the 2009 on Friday. To date I have never been disappointed with Matt's Paring offerings; great QPR from a great wine maker.

Fritzed up at first opening. An acid bath in the mouth. Really out of balance. Day II, same result, poured a large glass and opened up an Bordeaux. Few hours later got a strange dark fruit licorice whift as I passed by. This now looks dark in the glass. More blark licorice, herbs, meat, bit of kerosene? Dark fruit, is this a Pinot? Much more balanced, but still tight acid, tannins are perfect (but this is two days+), big fruit on the palate, following the nose. Nice lingering finish. Very strange experience, nice wine, but nearly got tossed down the drain.

Spicy, peppery and quite savory. Definately better with food. light to medium in body even though it was so dark in color.
