Need to decant 1 1/2 hours to calm down the acids. I'm not that familiar w/PR CS's, so don't have much to benchmark it against. This was pleasant, the body was medium minus, so not too complex. On the palate, it wasn't too deep, nuanced or complex. We grilled some filets and it was better with food. Kind of simple, reminded me of an Umpqua Valley CS, but this is less appealing. Unattractive QPR, would be fair at $20.

Opened up nicely after 30 minutes. Not very complex but very enjoyable.

APPEARANCE: Ruby red, very slow, long legs AROMA: Jam, molasses, raspberries, and black licorice TASTE: Firm tannins with red fruit on the palate. A long, smooth finish with a little bit of a bite on the back end. Enjoyable to drink

Had to perform a bottle test after sampling at the winery. Bold blackcurrent, and pepper, lingering to licorice with a lingering finish. Paired with ribeye, roasted brussel sprouts, and Valentine's truffles!
