Appears I am the outlier on this one. It was decent initially, ok fruit on the front and mid palates with a little spice but had a short finish. No improvement on day 2 and the finish got somewhat sour. Could have been an off bottle. Worth the $13 I paid (but not much more). Maybe I'll try decanting the next bottle. I find it difficult to believe that this is from Pride Mountain.

This is just amazing value! As a longtime list member of the rumored producer of this wine, to my palate it certainly lives up to the rumored source. Just a baby, you can cellar this for 10 years and be very happy with the result, provided Cam's corks hold up that long. Certainly lots of fruit, but 5 years in it's starting to round out. This is my third bottle I think, and each has been better than the last. Impeccably balanced, just the right amount of oak, finish is consistent with producer's house style. I got the same price as Deegie below, $11.58 on sale...maybe the greatest qpr cab purchase of my life!

Delicious right out of the bottle. Didn't have time to decant. Not sorry.

Update 1.5 years later. Simply outstanding juice. More pronounced fruit now than before, a complex and satisfying finish. Great juice!
