Wowowowowow. This wine knocked me out. Lovely nose of citrus, wax and stone fruits with a palatte of the same, with a dose of just enough oak, salt, apple, peach, apricot, and pencil shavings. Absolutely loving and unexpected. And at $30, an absolute unabashed win win win. If you come across this, get it! — 4 years ago

Enjoyable mid-week wine. Good acid. Red fruits and very mild bark on nose, and black and dark red fruits on palate. Quite restrained. Medium finish. — 4 years ago

This is an excellent wine - dark cherry, currant, liquorish, herbs, and a little earth. Tannins are still quite prominent as expected in this youngin’. After 3 days, The wine became more expressive and tannins were more approachable though were still prominent - absolutely delightful at that point. Certainly needs a decant or minimal aeration to start to access some of what it has to offer after the cork is popped. Should last for a number of years. Outstanding QPR! — 4 years ago

Peach, grapefruit, virtually no oak. Very clean, crisp and zingy. Light and enjoyable with a medium + body, moderate finish length. Great with salmon. Nicely done. — 4 years ago

Unbelievable wine. Wow. The rest is decanting but sipping the first PNP. Gorgeous carnelian and brick. Great nose full of round and juicy black cherries, blackberries, lavender, restrained fresh uncut strawberries, hint of field herbs and dried leaves and dried mushroom. Then it’s a velvet glove in your mouth- literally a super seductive velvet mouth feel. Elegant. Balanced with layers of dark fresh uncandied cherry, rhubarb and dark skinned plums. This is followed by mild Forrest floor and a hint of fallen tree woodiness, lending its mild integrated tannin as the structure for a long finish of dark red raspberries and cherries with a hint of tartness. Burgundian to the nth degree. Hats off, knee down. Phenomenal work. — 4 years ago

Slightly aromatically challenged, but hints of honey and white flowers lead to a palate of orange and lemon, lemon pith, grapefruit, lilacs, and hint of wet stone and salinity. Good balance and zippy acidity but a bit tart on the finish. Still a very enjoyable wine! — 4 years ago

9.1

Beautifully light golden color enticing you to go further...nose is actually somewhat floral with white Petaled flowers and honey. Finally, it dances on the palate with a medium body, full of apricots, grapefruit, honey, and followed by hints of other stone fruits with good dose of mineralogy acid to wake up the mouth and the salivary glands. Slightly tart finish, but in a good way. A super enjoyable, balanced wine! — 4 years ago
