Amazing QPR. Needs air but lovely dark fruit, turned earth, coffee bean, mocha savory salted plum, black tea and a finish that sails on for nearly 45 seconds.

Big firm Bordeaux style blend with great black fruit and some cedar wood both on the nose and palate.

Decanted to get a better flavor as this can be a fruit-bomb. This a good representation of Columbia Valley 10 years ago. I believe the newer CVR is much better as the vines mature. Per CT, this was a $46 bottle, comparable to D2. I believe the 2008 Red Mountain is better.

This is more like it. Nice depth. Not intense, but a very good flavor of Columbia valley dirt. #abitpretentious
