First night this was medium-to-full-bodied with muted fruits. Tasted blind, I would have guessed a more modern-style Bordeaux rather than a CA cab. Enjoyable, but not a strong QPR. Second night I found it had fallen apart, and gave me little enjoyment, except in the braising liquid for some short ribs. Score based on first night, obviously.

I can echo others on this review. Expected more for wine of this price range, especially with now 8 years of cellaring. light body. Not my style. Drank like cheap bordeaux.

Not sure about the critics reviews as I found it a bit tannic and herbal. Could be better with age but the fruit is light. Wait on the others and hope that it comes around.

medium length finish; lovely fruit; well resolved tannins; very much enjoyed with a rack of lamb; a bit one dimensional, quite overpriced

Decent wine but not memorable as a Mid priced Napa Cab. Moderate weight, fairly simple with pleasant red fruit and smooth tannins.
