  Purchased at auction. The bottom of the cork broke at the perfect spot where it couldn’t be saved but that was my lone complaint. This bottle was drinking beautifully. Wonderful nose of red fruit and smooth tannins along with some balanced acidity. I got notes of cranberry and tobacco on the palate along with some spice. Great wine and wish I had purchased more. Amazing QPR for the price I paid for my lone bottle.

  Decanted for 45 minutes. Drinking great right now. Mix of dark and red fruit, some cassis, well integrated with moderate oak and soft tannins. Outstanding cabernet.

  Consistent w/ below.
  Ripe dark and red fruits, oak was better integrated than prev. btl, black currants/cassis and licorice come through.

  Enjoyed in front of the Sonoma Brion.
  Wine is dark Ruby+
  Nose of red berries, blue berries, pepper spices, oak, saddle leather and tobacco.
  Fruit forward, some oak present, round and plush on the attack and mid. Finishes smoothly with a long finish. Creme de cassis, blue berries, black currants. Tannins are soft, wine is ready to drink. Classic Napa in style and taste, nothing overly interesting here, a very nice elegant wine none the less.
