Great QPR. This is not an elegant wine, but it is a perfect wine for Mardi Gras week. This is debaucherous Good fun and drinks well as a pop and pour. It’s “only” 14.1% abv though you might think it more. Nice big round fruit and some cooperage, tobacco and hot summer tar patch. Delicious and unctuous but you may not want to let your snobby oenophillic friends know you enjoyed it so much!

This was delicious ! Decanted for a few hours and it was ready to go by dinner. This was purple ink in the glass, and bursting with dark fruit aromas. Rich and exactly what I was expecting from this cab. A little bit of herbs/spices upon tasting but this was just as close to a stereotypical CA cab as I was hoping. Very smooth and round to me, perhaps due to the other varietals in the blend. Regardless, I liked this one.
Had with beef burgers, and spicier foods and it paired well for me.

Certainly good, but fairly one-dimensional for a Cali Cab at this price point.

I thought that this was a well executed vintage. I am glad that we let it age a bit. Enjoyed it very much.

Not sure what all the fuss was about. Certainly was not worth the money I spent obtain it because there is many more deserving.
