Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an extremely dark wine, and the nose jumps out of the glass so forcefully you don’t really need to get too close to smell it. When the smell reaches your nose, it is dark and savory, with the red and blue berries joined by aromas of cigar box, leather, earth and a hint of oak spice. The palate replicates the nose, with dark berry flavors and savory streaks of earth and minerals. The tannins are fairly firm, but they soften a bit with some time in the glass or decanted. The finish is lengthy and features the savory side of the flavor profile.

Blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Bright dark garnet color. Aromas of red and black fruit, black licorice and light oak. Same fruits (very ripe) on the pallet with hints of wet loamy soil and basil. Plump and rich. Silky tannins. Pleasant surprise. Solid QPR.

Light and fruity. Both the red and dark fruit, giving it good balance. A bit of acidity lingers.
