Wow, never heard of this producer - found them at Specs in TX. Gorgeous right out of the shoot: inky ruddy garnet, effusive nose of rich ripe fruit of all color, sweet exotic spice & pepper, vanilla & cocoa… just decadent. Lush on palate, tremendous flavors, so generous and well knit. Balanced & seamless through lingering finish. This has great stuffing but not overdone. Had a run of great Zin lately which is encouraging. Bump for QPR — 2 years ago

Fun wine to sip slowly—when cold you really pick up the oak, as it gets less cold you get more creme brulee and apples. It shows well in both lights! — 4 years ago

This was a pleasant surprise - never heard of this No Cal estate, but they’re doing an Italian varietal field blend. This had some bottle age, but still showed an inky color w/no visible bricking. Huge nose right out of the bottle with all manner of red fruit, vanilla & sweet oak, some herbs, licorice and soil. Fleshy & smooth on palate w/flavors matching nose, had a great balance of tannins alongside some juicy acidity. Had this w/homemade bolognese. Med bodied, med acidity and just tasty! — 2 years ago
