Nose of sweet and sour fruit, same on the palate, fairly fruit forward, at peak in 9 months, medium/big body, tasty, mouth filling fruit, opened nicely after 45 minutes in the glass, has traits of Carneros region on both the nose and mid palate, great price at Costco, long finish, new wine tasted.

Great QPR
