30+ minute decant and needed a lot more. Lovely dark red color. Great nose that paired Napa and Bordeaux elements. Wine was tight and young, but juicy with a silky texture. Baking spices dominated. All the components were there but either needs a ton of air or a lot more age. — 2 days ago

Merry Christmas!!

1hr-+ decant. Dark red color. Cedar, dark cherries, and subtle pencil shavings on the nose. Drinking at its apex! Could be mistaken for a high end Bordeaux. Silky texture, juicy but elegant with lovely terroir, and complex. Nice depth and long finish. This is right in my wheelhouse!!

Pairs perfectly with ham!! — 11 days ago

Wow! PnP. Lovely dark red color. Cedar, anise, dark cherries, cigar box, and a hint of pepper. Could mistake for a classic Bordeaux. Great texture and depth on the palate with the cedar and rustic fruit coming through in an integrated fashion. Medium plus finish. Wish it wasn’t my last bottle :( — 17 days ago

PnP. Very nice. Nothing stood out as memorable, just a solid, classic Spanish Tempranillo. — 4 days ago

Merry Christmas!!

375ml. Translucent dark gold color with subtle orange hues. Beeswax, honeysuckle, and butterscotch on the nose. Past prime but I like it and maybe this is how it’s supposed to be. Gets better with air. Nice depth and a long finish. — 11 days ago

Light gold color. Lovely, complex nose of camomile, butter, steel, and lemongrass. Similar flavors on the palate. Medium plus depth that coats the palate and has a long, lingering finish. Possibly the best U.S. Chard QPR! — 22 days ago

New Year’s Eve. Not really a champagne drinker, but this hit the spot after 2hrs our snow shoveling! Technically the first bottle of 2026 :) — 5 days ago

New Year’s Eve. Disappointing. Not sure if it’s a bad bottle or in a weird spot. Definitely drinking young, but very tart and light. Color was more Pinot than Cab. — 5 days ago

Wonderful yellowish gold color. Very aromatic and dominated by lemongrass, steel, and minerals. Melons and steel on the palate. Medium depth and finish. Nothing special but might need some time open. — 15 days ago
