11/6/2011 - WinoMan2007 Likes this wine: 85 pointsCertainly a young wine... better with some proper aeration. We let it sit for an hour and it mellowed out a bit. Not sure how it will behave with aging but plan to keep one for a long term test. The others should be gone shortly -- good for the price. |

Worth the wine.woot price but nothing to get excited about. Tonight, based on comments from others, I vinturied into a decanter and let it sit for about 20 minutes before drinking. This made a huge difference. With this treatment the wine became very fruit forward, with good overall balance. Not much heat, and a touch of acidity. Easy drinker and I could see this going well with pizza. We had it with grilled steaks, and it was decent but not outstanding - didn't have the depth that a really good Cabernet has in that kind of setting. Probably a good bottle to bring to a party with casual wine drinkers if you could be sure that it would get enough air prior to consumption. |

12/27/2012 - nfurlong Likes this wine: 85 pointsDark red/garnet; spicy pine forest scents, some wet granite and cola also in the nose. Taste explodes with fruit: ripe red and black berries, plum, cedar, juniper. Very well balanced, a bit volatile, long lingering AT. Drinking superbly right now, will improve over the next few years. Paid less than $10, drinks like a good $20 everyday Cab. Well worth the purchase. |

By that I mean that it is not offered as a complex, intense, brooding CS. If one judges it against that standard, it will certainly come up lacking. |

At first sip, there is alot of mineral that eventually fades after being opened. A little hot too. But t this price I will continue to buy for a cheap cab. |

5/19/2018 - nfurlong Likes this wine: 89 pointsCinnamon brick color; peppery blueberry and singed cedar nose; Nice mouthful of warm black fruit, mild tannins, white pepper, roasted poblanos, resinous blackberry liquor with a rush of alcohol at the 4 second mark. Long aftertaste. Definitely tasting well, perhaps at its peak? |

12/7/2009 - Capt M wrote: 89 pointsI'm very pleasantly surprised by this chardonnay, that shows character well above any make up and oak. Straw yellow color with beautiful transparency and brilliancy. Just the right nose, if not maybe a bit shy, but just right, showing nice burgundian notes of soft peach and lavender. Very harmonious palate, showing not only very nice apple character, but then a whole array of nuances, namely barley, vanilla and flowerly flavors. Shows some structure, good length, constant fruit, and just a touch of creamy oak. Good lengthy finish. Very good QPR. |

7/2/2011 - dcdad wrote: 70 pointsFullpour is right, MUCH colder is better. Vinturi improved it a bit by minimizing some of the burnt taste, but 'off' fruit flavor remained unappreciated by the 4 people who tasted and rejected it. woot off selection. Better wines locally at same or lower price. 70 is generous. Wish I had the first reviewer's (CaptM) positive experience - seems like we were drinking 2 completely different wines. |

12/8/2009 - Capt M wrote: 84 pointsCrimson red, where you can almost, barely see your fingers through the glass. Expressive nose, very barnyardy, I smell hay, sage, some blueberry, and barnyard. Deep dark flavors, medium to full body but also showing some texture, good structure all along, strong evolution towards the end and the finish. If I had to single out a fruit here, it would be blueberry again, but the finish is loaded with green pepper, cummin, and tobacco. Not a lot of excitement in this wine. A little bit hot. |

4/1/2011 - rmm wrote: 73 pointsMight be shocked or too young, or whatever excuse, but last night's bottle tasted horribly herbaceous with a strong current of raw green pepper running through it. Tasted even cheaper than paid for on woot, and might be the first bottle from there in a while that I've actually been disappointed with. |
