Big bold and heavy on the palette. Big fat berry flavor of plums, blueberry, and a hint of tobacco. Mild tannins and a lingering finish.

Excellent wine with pork loin. Strong flavors of black cherry and well balanced. A long finish—hoping I can buy another bottle!

Full body and good balance. Having this with a filet and truffle fries.

Bought from Hinton’s at recommendation of sales clerk but not Sommalier. Nice easy to drink wine. Not heavy. Had with chateau elite. Would have again depending on price.

Dark purple in color. Black cherry nose with cherry and currant on the palate. Nice wine now, but could be better with age.

Not great for a Napa Cabernet. It was a little too acidic and had a bitter aftertaste. The tasting note say notes of berries, currant and spice. I didn’t get that. Disappointed.

2014 - loving it. Tasting the oak. On the drier side and finishes very pleasant.
After 1 hour - this wine keeps getting better. I keep looking at the bottle and my hubby and saying, this is a keeper. I'm a merlot fanatic but this cab is winning me over.

Great QPR! Wow! Fruit forward with blueberries raspberries & stewed plum. Nice supporting structure of oak leather & mineral. Supple tannins make it a great value

Really smooth. Red fruit, floral. 28 months in French oak but didn’t feel overdone
