Extremely well balanced and smooth with a round texture and nice feathery tannin on the finish. A "feminine" wine. Would love to have some more bottles. Will do well with more time in the bottle but well developed and drinking well right now, I think it is at its peak.

Bordeaux blend plus 4% syrah. This wine shows a strong sense of place, Destiny Ridge Vineyards. Complex dusty earth with some raspberry. Same flavors that add pomegranate and cassis after about two hours. Perfect balance with medium body and very silky, a vineyard trademark. Soft, ripe and plush on a medium frame. Needs time but very good now with air - three years. Perfect cellar candidate with guaranteed upside. Inexpensive for the quality.

Drank in vertical with 04 and 06 QB. This one still has depth and complexity that are amazing for a <$20 wine. Best of the flight.
