Smooth as ever. Aromas are jammy, blackberry, blueberry, with an ever so slight sweet hint of vanilla bean. Tastes of all the red fruit, cola, smooth on the palate, short finish. I decanted for at least an hour and it feels decent, but probably not worth the price tag.

Aromas of fresh fruit salad, especially melon fruits, strawberry, and kiwi, with a hint of honey. Tastes like watermelon, pink lemonade, honeydew, strawberry, with floral hints of hibiscus. Complex for a rose

Bottle 1/288; full bodied, super dry and dusty, dried strawberries, dried cherries, smoky, pepper, and slight notes of grilled meat. Besides all the dry and dusty notes, the finish has the most creamy Greek yogurt of the three.

Strawberry, pomegranate, and some floral and mineral notes on the nose. Palate includes cola, pomegranate, yogurty, and a slight earthiness. Finish is short and fruity.

Like the company said, it’s a crowd pleaser. Jammy red fruits, pepper, slight smoke, with sharp but short tannin

Pretty simple; candied red fruit, plums, medium bodied, light tannins

Very good, very simple; melon, slight rubbery nose with flavors of citrus, cantaloupe, and honeysuckle. Served chilled

Decanted for over an hour. Stewed plums and meat on the nose, palate entails milk chocolate, pepper, dried cranberry (like the kind in trail mix), and stewed plums. Not bad for a cheap Bordeaux. Would have again.

Excellent medium bodied red wine. I’m not well versed in Zinfandel, but I’m still learning. Aromas of black cherry, plum, and clove. Palate includes plum, blackberry, raspberry, pepper, dusty soil, and a high tannic finish. I’ve got another bottle so I would love to see what some age would do for it.

Metallic tasting and that’s about it. It’s cheap, so I’m not sure what I was expecting. Smells like plastic and light citrus. I think it smells better than it tastes.

4/4/2023 - matt3taras Likes this wine:

Favorable as a simple and easy-going table wine. It’s lightly carbonated with aromas of cantaloupe and coastal beachy air. It tastes of honeydew, key lime, with a tinge of sea salt. Would get again

2/10/2023 - matt3taras Likes this wine:

After an hour decant, it has a nose of stewed plums, candied cherries, black pepper, tar, and very light floral notes. It has large pepper, plum, and game notes with smaller notes of cigars and bacon. High tannins, high acidity, good legs, very dry, with a hue of burgundy moving to brick around the rim.

1/27/2023 - matt3taras Likes this wine:

Red fruit, pepper, lightly gamey, and very light for a Shiraz, this is super easy to drink. Decanted for an hour before drinking

Jammy, semi cigar box, loads of cherry

Much earthier than the other Grenache of tonight. Fresh brewed coffee, dried cherry, leather, and dust on the nose. Tastes of coffee, cherry, stewed meat, and dessert spices. Super great, would love to buy more from this winery.

A real gentle fruit bomb. Aromatics of strawberry, followed by cherry, raspberry, apples, and maybe a hint of fresh bread. Tastes of the same fruits, cold brew and creamer, with no tannins and a soft mouthfeel. Not much of a finish, but that’s okay. It brings me back to drink more.

12/29/2022 - matt3taras Likes this wine:

Velvety smooth with blackberries and slight raspberry, baker’s chocolate, with a slight hit of hot booze on the finish. Very closed and simple, I don’t feel like the QPR is worth it.

12/25/2022 - matt3taras Likes this wine:

Decanted for over 30 minutes, it’s giving off some hard candied plum and licorice aromas and flavors. It’s a pretty casual and easy going GSM. I’d drink it again at $30.

It’s fine. A one hour decant doesn’t seem to change much with the flavors or aromas. Red fruit, olives, and chocolate. Very smooth, medium tannins.

12/21/2022 - matt3taras Likes this wine:

Not bad, even after a 1 hour decant. Aromas of straight booze, blackberry, yogurt, cherries, and slight table spice. Tastes like a fruit bomb with a hint of wood and a finish that leaves a lingering mossy aftertaste.

Cigars, tobacco, dried cherries, and an ever so slight floral note on the nose. Palate is smooth with flavors of dusty tobacco, leather, dried cherries, and a finish that doesn’t linger. Fantastic QPR

Very fruit forward, also getting some citrus notes on the nose and palate. Cherry, strawberry, jammy, pepper with a long finish. It’s decent, I wouldn’t go out of my way to have another glass.

Right out of the bottle there’s aromas of minerals and fresh flowers. Palate is very mineraly, grass, with a very sharp bite. For $46, this was an incredible white.

Beautiful, tall, and earthy, this wine is exceptional. On the nose, dusty, ripe cherry and clay. That same dust, cherries, alongside medium tannins and acidity sing through the palate. The finish is not super long which makes you want to savor every moment.

A beautiful Riesling that I was so excited to try. Aromatics are wonderful with petrol, wildflowers, honeydew, and fresh pear. Palate is highly acidic with green apple, honeydew, mineraly, with a finish that is crisp and tangy. I would easily drink this again at $20.

Upon removing the cork, I got aromas of potting soil and minerality. 30 minutes later, the Merlot took over. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, plums, and slightly floral notes. Flavors of blackberry and cherry immediately, mint, chocolate, and a particular smoothness came on the backend. The texture was silky smooth with mild to medium tannins.

For $6.50 a bottle, this punches for at least double it’s price. Upon opening, there’s aromas of fresh flowers and blackberries. Then you’re hit with blackberries, stewed meat, lavender, and a slight grassy earthiness with a medium to quick finish that is mostly raspberry. Pretty neat for something that cheap.

Very one dimensional. Tastes of tobacco smoke, grilled meat, and black cherry. I don’t seem to smell anything… maybe slight black cherry.

Very easy drinking wine that is a nice transparent ruby/purple with a salmon rim. Aromas of pomegranate, pink lemonade, and fresh flowers. Taste is pink lemonade, cherry, boozy, and slightly grassy. Finish is smooth and quick.

Chilled and drank right out of the fridge. On the nose, there’s raspberries, cherries, strawberries, and some slightly oaky smells. While chilled, it was exceptionally fruity, semi dry, with some oak notes that went down smoothly. After it warmed to room temperature, the fruit was leveled out, the oakiness was louder, additional notes of pepper, nuts, and melon.

It’s a solid introductory Pinot noir. Aromas of blackberry, pie crust, baking spice. Strong booze up front, spicy mouthfeel, short to medium finish that contains slight spice and dark fruits. Blackberry, blueberry, alcohol, and cardamom. Not a very flavorful experience, but not terrible.

Very complex upon opening, lots of smokiness and lead aromas and flavors. After decanting for 20 minutes, notes of dried fruit and leather approached. A slight scent of dill or rosemary after 30 minutes with much more cherry flavors with the smoke dissipating quite a bit.
