The wine has a wonderful color, a dark red wine promising a full body and rich flavor. The nose is soft, mineral, loam, leather. The taste interesting, it doesn’t have that big Napa Cab taste,is much more subtle. It does have a full body with a sharp tannin-acidic finish. The taste is a fruit forward, a spicy wine with a touch of pepper. It is weak in the middle and could use a better structure.

Consistent with prior notes - bumped it up a point as it is a very good QPR.
Plum, cherries and with a nice smooth finish and a hint of chocolate. This is a very nice, currently drinkable consistent product with more depth than you'll usually find in a $15 Cali Cab. I think the QPR is excellent here.

Nice medium body with oak up front. Not a lot of fruit - but some black cherry with a nice finish. NOt a powerhouse, but great with food. Ripe tannins on finish. Really enjoyed this. Nothing complicated about it. Good QPR.

Nice Pinot, but not real earthy. Good Carneros Pinot, more fruit than earth on the nose.

A bit light for a cab. No fruit punch anywhere to be found. Not thrilled with this one.
