Dark, brooding and rich. No jammy fruit here, but ample blueberry, violet, menthol and camphor. Texture is very attractive.

This is drinking extremely well now. Very nice nose of berries and some hints of tobacco. Mouth watering juicy palette of cherries, spices and uplifting acidity. Good structure with long aftertaste and playful tannins.

Needs a bit of air to open up. Still young, fresh and vibrant. Perfumed nose of fruits and a tiniest bit of game blood. Fruit and minerals on the palette with refreshing acidity and soft grained tannins. This performs better than I anticipated. Good QPR!

One of the lightest Shiraz I have drank. Opened up amazingly. Berry and fruit forward, cumin and coriander in the end.

Interesting wine that becomes much more complex as it opens, notes of black cherry and cedar.

2/14/17 at Jc holdaway for Valentine's Day dinner with my love. The wine is tart and crisp, dark and clear. A nice wine.

Needs some time to open up, but when it does smoother than most Napa versions.
