Very intense cassis and plum on the nose with whiffs of tobacco. Really thick and rich on the palate. A little heat. Just the right side of OTT. Really polished, lush and long. Of its type, very good.

15% ABV.
On day 1 this was simply showing too concentrated, sirupy, smooth and flabby for my liking.
Day 2: while still intense it has mellowed down considerably, now with some refreshing structure and backbone emerging allowing it to be enjoyed (at least by this humble palate).
I think this wine primarily will please the “Big & Bold” fans as a pop n’ pour but that shouldn’t be a surprise given Maggie’s past at SQN.
(if you haven’t tried them already and think Maggie Harrison only is a one trick pony you should try her Antica Terra Pinot’s from Oregon. A gifted winemaker!).

This is the "Blue Label" that's, first of all, not very blue, and secondly, in my humble opinion, (don't shoot the messenger),not as enjoyable as the regular bottling. At least, on multiple occasions, has never been for me. Which is the exact opposite of SQN. Not that it's bad. Just not as seductive to me. Anybody else feel the same?
