Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - Ya, i like this, great low price and hence perfect QPR. Reminded that this is lighter style than i expected. Nice balance of fruit/tannin/acid, but perhaps is lacking a little backbone. Fruit is nice and subtly complex. Great without food and mix with variety of fare. Drinking fine just now, would be nice house wine, but would not cellar any. Will likely last at least 2-5 more years, but again is smooth and drinks fine now.

For instance, for what it delivers I believe this should be sold at less than $15 a bottle, I have only been able to find it at $17 and up....In other words, one can find the same quality wine for about $10 or so!!!

So given that, this isnt to bad...but agree with the whole QPR thing.
