  Other than perhaps MacDonald, these are the best QPR in Napa by a mile. It's incredible the quality Maayan puts in the bottle for the price. Combine that with a fabulous vintage like 2021 and you have a no brainer, back the truck up purchase.
  
  The Red Hen is the reddest, brightest and probably lightest bodied of the three SVD's. That's not to say it lacks concentration by any stretch, as all these wines are packed with concentrated flavors. Super elegant, with great acidity and refined tannins, this wine stands out as the most mineral driven, fresh and ready to drink at this stage. It shows off great purity, floral notes and just has that "yum" factor. Best vintage for it I've tasted.
