Consistently great and excellent QPR! Dark ruby color. Fruit forward aromas and flavors of raspberry and blackberry. Hint of spice and orange peel on the finish. Soft (yet round) tannins and medium bodied. Juicy with great structure. So easy to drink.

Classic barbera. Smooth and silky texture with wonderful floral aromas with some definite cherry notes in addition. On the palate there were delicious red fruits and warm spices. Very well done! 100% Barbera. 3/20/22.

Notes of berry. Fresh. Lighter but full body. Easy on the palate. You can sense this could age well. A nice mid-afternoon glass, alone, or with a handful of nuts.
