Second bottle. Real pleasant fruit-forward, medium-bodied red blend. Could taste a little licorice and cinnamon from the Syrah, but the Cab earthy/slightly oaky taste came in on the back end. Stood up to a cast iron skillet grilled New York Strip with baked and oven broiled baby brocollini. Great QPR. Drink now. Will not improve with age.

Pleasant surprise for the price- A mostly Cab-based eastern Wa wine (blend) with some heft! Very dark and inky, somewhat subdued nose- fruit and wood, but the taste was fruit forward, a click better than medium-bodied, earthy, woody, balanced, good acidity- food friendly. I would crown this King of QPR! Little aging potential. Drink now.

OK. Good fruit and acidity on day one. Day two it completely fell apart.

Dry but not barren. Great fruit.
