9.1

2022 vintage. Last year's vintage more than justified the pricing. This one, not so much. 06.11.25. — 2 days ago

2019 vintage. Not a fan of Amarone but this one comes in slightly less sweet and with decent nuance. 06.11.25. — 2 days ago

9.3

2011 vintage. Excellent nose. Medium body and exacting finish. A deal afoot (along with oodles of other CA 2011 vintage cab concerns) but still a bit too pricey for the QPR. 06.11.25. — 2 days ago

9.0

2014 vintage. Mid-palate conundrum currently and waiting for it to resolve/head to respective corners. Medium body. Give it another 3-4 years. Usual V29 style evident at the start and finish but a bit of a blood clot in between. 06.11.25. — 2 days ago

9.4

2022 vintage. This blew the doors off the 2022 Spring Mtn District cab and the 2022 Rattlesnake cab. That doesn't happen often for Napa merlots. 06.11.25. — 2 days ago

2020 vintage. Light-medium body. Graphite nose. Respectable tannins but hardly insurmountable. Already fairly smooth drinker. 06.11.25. — 2 days ago
