Very pleasantly surprised with how delicious this is! A bit fruity with a tad bit of dry. Will definitely buy this again!

surprise surprise - hit or miss with this NC winery, but this is fantastic! Left Bank style, classy oak integration, gobs of red & black fruit, prominent spice and secondary layers, great extraction & tannic grip. just really solid & enjoyable all the way round. bump for QPR
