Better than expected. A bit harsh at open then settled in to a good drinking experience. Med finish. Decent fruit. No need to hold any longer. (731 views)

Still drinking well. Gobs of red and black fruits including blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, boysenberry, and black currants. Judicious oak here, along with notes of tobacco and black pepper. Tannins starting to fade so drink now.
Perennially the best QPR on the market. (736 views)

One of our go-to wines, but this bottle baffled us. Perhaps too used to cru Beaujolais or 1-2 years beyond our usual drink date.

Day 1: open-faced Asian-style sloppy Joe with cauliflower.

Red with purple edges, dark, but clear. Somewhat closed with hints or prune and black licorice. Hints of black cherries on the pallet but overall lacks fruit. Woody and acidic. Full-bodied.

Day 2: homemade pizza, celery, and frozen vegetables. Pungent with artichoke and "barnyard" aromas.

Day3: French-onion chicken. Essentially no fruit. (1124 views)

A dark ruby wine with moderate intensity. This wine offers cherry flavors with a medium finish. This would be a good low cost wine to share with friends. (1418 views)

Thi is really in need of a decanter, after two hours in one, I was pleasantly rewarded with some layers of dark dry fruit - buleberry, lavender, and black cherry. Nice quality dry finish, what I'd expect of a Syrah, not a bad deal but needs to breather for sure. (655 views)

This wine was so bad that I hope it was just a bad batch. Almost like drinking battery acid. (712 views)

Decent syrah with good red and black fruit flavors. Somewhat tannic initially and did not open up for at least 2 to 3 hours. Mixed reviews amongst those that drank it; did not come across as a crowd pleasing wine. (848 views)

Tart initially, but then loads of pepper, dark fruits, tar and smoke emerge. Great QPR. Will buy again. (946 views)
