13yr Wedding Anniversary!!

This rocked. PnP. Lovely dark red color. Refined, rustic, and Bordeaux like nose with cedar and aged cherries. Same on the palate with an awesome texture. Medium depth and medium plus finish. High quality all the way!

Happy Thanksgiving! 1hr+ decant and needed a ton more. Definitely decant this for 3 hours. Wine was dark red with bourbon, alcohol, and cedar on the nose. Over the course of dinner and the next few hours it changed multiple times. It finally finished with a lovely combination of dark cherries, bramble, cedar, and rustic flavors. Medium plus depth and finish. Was awesome!

Dark red and purple color. I got mushrooms on the nose, others didn’t. High quality, refined, and deep. Black and blue fruit with integrated oak and terroir. Medium plus finish. Loved it!

Almost black in color, matching the bramble nose. Roses. I get a little campfire and some vegetal notes. Palette is smooth and silky with nice acid. More energy than most QC. Feels properly right bank at the tail end of primary.

Nice Merlot, Cab Sauvignon and Cab Franc blend. Could use another year or two in bottle. Still rather tannic.

Have no hesitation, this youthful wine is stunning. Signature QC, this is an elegant package of ripe fruit, chocolate, and velvety tannins. I gave this an hour of slow ox before drinking.
