The surprisingly elegant 2020 Shotfire Quartage is a red blend that delivers ample layers of black cherry and dried herbs with graphite and spice touches. Good composure is on show in a fleshy mid-weight style, providing a rich blackberry flavor core with chewy tannins to finish. $25.00 (Angus Hughson, Vinous, December 2023) — 2 years ago
Cherry, black currant, medium body, light on tanin. Easy to drink. Needs to decant a bit. Gift from Traci. — 4 years ago
My first anything from this winery, this was delicious. At 19 years old- still bringing it -the fruit and tannin factors that count. A joy to drink.  — 6 months ago

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. Dark fruit and cough medicine, with hints of prunes and baking spices on the nose. Cough medicine and more alcohol than I expected on the palate. Zero oak and lacks structure. Medium depth and the wine really coates the palate and sticks to your teeth. Medium plus finish. Good, just not my style.
Downgrading from 93 as this has become very harsh in the palate and fruit is gone. — a year ago

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Huge, complex bouquet with too many elements to opine on. Same on the palate. Alcohol is a little high, but this bottle was great! Big wine but great balance and flavors. I’m impressed! — a month ago
