Unreal nose. Needs a long decant - kept getting better over 2 days. One of the best wines I’ve had from Kutch. Excited to see how this evolves in a few years. — 7 years ago

Big cab... very nice with a ton of potential to keep getting better. 11 being a “down” vintage is overplayed. — 8 years ago

dureuil janthial makes the best QPR wines I have been able to find from burgundy. The biggest problem is finding them in the states. I’ve been able to find about 15 bottles: white, red, village, 1er... all awesome. — 7 years ago

It’s just a Bordeaux blend @Ron R I doubt the Petit Verdot exceeds 5%.....I don’t know why Delectable identified it that way

@Ron R , what @Bill Bender said. I didn’t even catch it until I saw your comment.

Oh cool, guys. When I saw it, I thought, really??? I tasted a great PV from an Aussie producer... basket pressed from Pirramima (may require spell-check). But yes, Bill, as I recall, PV is typically used for blending.

Gorgeous wine, beautiful pic, and fantastic notes. Need to get my hands on this. PS: didn’t realize Manfred named this after our own @Bill Bender

I’ve had the Hollering ‘M and the No. 6 but they are both from Oregon fruit. I’ve never had an SQN Pinot noir that uses central coast grapes. How extraordinary to produce a balanced PN at 15% abv!! And yes @Joe Lucca covert fingers does capture my essence 😏
