Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 20, 2019 - Sat, 04/20/19, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 70% Syrah & 30% Grenache grown in an accumulation of rounded pebbles; "Made by draining off the vat. Its color is obtained through a short maceration of between 4 & 12 hrs. Fermentation takes place in s/s tanks with the temperature controlled at 64°F."

N: FRAGRANT grapiness slightly atop flowers, with minerals WAY underneath?

P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with nice, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) counterbalanced by an acidity which keeps things in check into & through the LONG, balanced, tangy/swt finish with an OCCASIONAL *glimpse* of a very, VERY slight bitterness that encourages... MORE. Strikes me as being equally adept as a quaff or @ the table with lighter fare. For now & through '20, poss longer. My VG+/EXC-, the higher arguably for QPR? [This vendor's $9.95 puts it in the top 1/3 of wine-searcher's postings.]
