March 24, 2019 - Enjoyable enough w/steak dinner, typical of region, loosened up some with decanting and time in glass, not remarkable but not bad either. Good QPR for $12...not sure it lived up to WE91 but did drink easily and was ready now.

"A blend of 74% Syrah, 10% Carignan, 6% Grenache, 6% Mourvèdre and 4% Cinsault, this is an elegant and harmonious wine. It showcases a masterful balance between lush, ripe black berry fruits and earthy, toasty spice. With its crushed-velvet texture, bold fruit flavors and lingering spice accents, the wine is easy to appreciate and enjoy now, yet structured enough to age well for another 6–10 years." -

January 25, 2018 - La robe du vin est violacé semi-opaque, très foncé! Le nez est typiquement sudiste, très mûre, avec des arômes de prunes et de mûres réchauffés par le soleil, d'épices douces, de sang et de réglisse. La bouche est très concentré et enveloppante, mais bien équilibré par une acidité bien dosé. Le milieu de bouche est juteux et ample, finale assez longe sur une fine amertume, un rien asséchant. Parfaitement à point et excellent!

October 13, 2017 - Did not seem we were drinking the same wine as JD in WA, tart, funky bouquet, some fruit but rather austere with a tart, green finish,drank with ribs, have another bottle, will see?

October 18, 2016 - Deep purple. Lovely fragrance of blackberries, spice and pepper. Palate of berries, terroir. Pleasant tartness on the finish. Good tannins. Good balance. Medium to long finish. Very good.

August 24, 2016 - Very dark. Nose of currants and dark berries. Rich dark fruit, blackberries, cinnamon, spice, a hint of pepper. Slightly fruit forward but subtle. Pleasant tannins. Luxurious mouth feels with medium to long finish. Silky smooth. Very good now.
