Community Tasting Notes 27

• drdebs Likes this wine: 90 points

  February 10, 2013 - Difficult not to give this a 90--but for QPR, more like a 92. Bought this at Costco in 2007 for $8.99. Has delivered three times previously (though a bit dumb in late 2011). Tonight was superb: silky cassis and plum aromas and flavors, classic Meritage in every respect. And oh that pricetag. Cannot argue there. This is my last of four bottles. Goodbye Lot 29. It was so nice knowing you...

  January 14, 2011 - Cassis and green pepper aromas, with plum, currant and herbaceous flavor. Long, juicy aftertaste with herbal, eucalyptus, and a bit of tar. Silky texture, light on its feet. So nice for the $8.99 price I paid for it back in 5/2007--and has improved and integrated just as expected/hoped.

  March 1, 2010 - Dark, full-bodied with good cab flavors. Still has strong tannins. Should improve with another year or two.

  December 21, 2009 - Great quaffer. Monolithic, but holds its own with food.
