1 person found it helpfulNov 20th, 2018This tasted like whole cluster fermented Howell Mountain juice. I could have believed that this was 100% Cabernet Franc or 50/50 Franc/Sangiovese even. Rose petal perfume on the nose. Herbal raspberry preserves on the front. Almost had a black cherry bubblegum note in the middle. Finished a little wonky. As I was trying to find something about the makeup of this wine, for which I really found nothing, I came across the $200+/bottle price tag on numerous occasions.....umm....OK. Enjoyable wine, but QPR is a bit crazy.

Jul 4th, 2019Purchased this bottle from the winery after a barrel tasting. Did not disappoint. A big full bodied cab that will improve with cellaring.

Feb 22nd, 2016Decanted for 2 hours ... Could have opened for another 4 hours or so. Very aromatic with a deep purple appearance. Incredible blend!
