Great QPR and the acidity somehow hides 15.5%! Brighter red fruit than many napa cabs owing to mountain fruit and the wine shows that Diamond mountain dark schist. While nicely balanced, it is missing some integration but still a great wine with a good QPR

This is another of those bummer bottles. Not sure if it is past it's time or if something has happened to them, it doesn't taste corked or old. In the past this wine has been literally perfect. In this case there have been many but not all bottles that have a strong chemical taste, to the point I poured them out. Very unfortunate as I love this wine.

Smooth and well-balanced. Not a lot of fruit when first opened, but over 30 to 60 minutes there were some nice red fruit flavors near the finish.
