This is a beautiful little Rasteau. Lighter red color in the glass with Blackberry and Raspberry fruit on the nose and palate. The finish is still in development but coming along nicely. I guess I would call this wine "Rasteau Lite" it's not as heavy footed as some of the big jammy Rasteau's but it still carries a masculine Rasteau character. Great QPR and will pair beautifully with most food. It works quite well with Cashel bleu cheese, very nice.

Nice big fruit, definitely opens up and shows more rose petals and cedar spice if you give it some time.
