While Qupe is now partnered with Charles Banks' Terroir Selections group, Bob Lindquist is still very much present and in charge here. Like his longtime stablemate Jim Clendenen, Lindquist seems somewhat bemused by his status as an elder ?? for a new generation of winemakers seeking to make wines that favor elegance over power. "It was never a design," he told me, "but rather a desire to take advantage of some great vineyards and not get in the way." The Qupe wines can come off a bit shy on release, and if one is hell-bent on drinking them young then a decanting is definitely advised. Older bottles continue to prove to me that the wines deserve and reward patience, especially the Hillside roussanne.

This set of wines from Qupe and Bob Lindquist is full of highlights. The entry-level reds in particular are impressive and worthy of serious consideration.
