Bright, light garnet. Aromatic nose of sour cherry, earth, Smucker's® Strawberry Jam, toast, vanilla (strawberry shortcake), spicy black cherry, and cedar. Big flavors of red cherry, leather, and red currant, with smooth tannins and nice acidity - a great food wine. Went wonderfully with pizza.

Strong fruit with blueberry, sweet and sour cherry, spice and vanilla flavors. A little over-extracted and intense, but had with spicy pizza that worked well. Almost like a Zinfandel with intensity, but a different flavor profile. Over-all enjoyable - worked well with food.
Good quaffer for having with pizza, barbeque or spicier meal.
Nice QPR - would buy again.

Dark ruby color. Full aromas of cherry and blackcurrant and some dried spices. Full bodied and balanced with some good fruit and fine tannins. Medium finish.
Well made wine with a distinct Tuscan character, slightly let down by the medium finish.

On my first try, I did not get the same impression that Ian D'Agata of IWC got. I thought this was light, somewhat simple and non-stimulating. I think it' was good, but certainly no where near as complex and worth of a 92 that ID gave it. Quite rare to have such a drastic different impression so I will wait for my second attempt to give it my official score. First impression ranges from 85 to 87.

Wow - what a QPR revelation. Had by the glass at Mes Que in Buffalo. Seeking a case for everyday drinking.

Nice food wine. Good fruit, structure without being flabby
