  Surprisingly translucent magenta. Bramble, blueberry and spice nose. Medium bodied, bright cherries, spicey oak, concentrated raspberries, very soft tannins, pepper, smoke, and a tangy medium length finish. If I was tasting this blind, I'd have said it was a pinot noir. So its good, but pretty lightweight.

  Pleasantly surprised. Not some flabby fruit stew like I so often expect from Napa. Sweet tannins. Lovely melange of fruits. Would buy again in the $15 range

  Decanted last bottle an hour, semi-transparent ruby color, light cherry nose, medium mouthfeel, medium length finish with some cherry and light tannins, pretty simple Cab blend, good everyday drinker QPR at $15, same rating as 8 months ago.

  This is a fine, everyday drinker. Nothing special, but nice and fruit forward.

  Decanted, did not improve substantially with decant. Medium bodied with bright red fruits. The cherry was overpowering, and complexity was lacking.
