Nice fresh fruit, good acidity, solid tannins. Still very primary at this point. A little oak on the nose. 14.4% and it shows a bit of heat, but not too much. Seems just a bit jammy. Needs time.

Opened hot tub side after a long day of laying flooring with Jimbo and Lori. Nice from the pnp and enjoyed over 90 min or so.......started out a thin, red fruited 89 and moved to a 91 with time but still somewhat thin and red fruited. In no way a competitor for their Jersey Boys vineyard, but a nice wine nonetheless.......a stretch to get to 92 for me, so settling on a 91. Looking back I paid $50 for this bottle so not feeling cheated in the least, but not as good as my bottle from nearly 3 years ago, so seems to be fading.

quite dark in the glass, but mostly red fruit on the palate. and lively acid to boot. ridiculous bottle, but doesn't distract from what's inside. great QPR from WL
A nose of bold dark fruits and spices, dark purple in color. A full bodied red, with blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate and spices on long finish. Needs a good decant, very good, heavy bottle. www.winelx.com
