So lush and hedonistic.

I don't know why but this wine always surprises me even though I have had numerous bottles! The nose puts me in heaven. Huge flavors of tobacco, black cherry, and tar make this a very powerful wine. Excellent finish, and probably the best QPR Cab going right now. Mark and team know what they are doing up on Howell Mtn!!! Shhhhh, don't tell too many people.

An amazing wine - so much fruit and so bold, yet so smooth and consistent. I want more of this wine!!!

Somewhat dry with smooth tannins. Dark fruit, spice. Lots of years left. Benefits from a great vintage.

Nice cab but I had it after the Lamborn 2012 and it couldn't keep up.

Earthy nose, smooth velvety tanins with a nice finish. This cab is ready now ! Paired with a steak, potatoe and artichoke. It does not get any better than this for a Saturday dinner. I will continue to buy Neil Cabs because they are consistently well done.
