Coravin glass: Berry, cherry, currant and a touch of chocolate. Best with our grilled ribeye steak, which went well with the tannins in the wine. Better on Day 2, where a touch of oxygen had really improved the wine's finish.

Mediocre on its own but very good with our grilled Roseta beef sirloin sliders on onion buns, bringing the flavors of berry, cherry, currant and a touch of chocolate come to the fore. We paid $18 and this is a good burger wine for that

A tasty cabernet. Notes of cherry, berry, currant, and some nice tannins. Improved with time. Could perhaps age for a year or two, but a good match now, for a grilled steak. Drink now or hold. Good QPR for our $21 / bottle price. (And it was apparently available for $18 / bottle, too, last November).

Review on day 2. $30/btl and worth every penny. Lush, rich mouthfeel, which is what I think sets a high quality wine apart from the rest. Plenty of fruit too, with berry, cherry and a hint of black currant.

Dark cherry, wood smoke, cassis and perfume notes dominate a slightly hot nose. It's understandable at 14.5%. Nice balance and it carries the alcohol well with the acidity and fruit on the finish keeping it at bay and balanced. Silky texture. Fresh and ripe medium finish.

Opened up nicely after 30-40 minutes. Hot on the nose. Nice and dark, not as brooding as WA Cabs but in a great way. Enjoyed.
