Medium garnet with mild clearing at rim. Medium(+) aromas of black fruit/ earth/ mushrooms. Medium(+) palate of blue/black fruit. Medium well integrated tannins and medium length with decent acidity. Nothing to write home about but quite pleasant as an everyday drinker.

No notes taken, but this is drinking very well currently. Sweetish red/black fruit on the nose and palate. Tannins well integrated. I really liked this

Semi-translucent magenta, like a pinot noir. Strawberry, earth, and a little bit of funk on the nose. Light to medium bodied, dirty raspberries, pepper, hazelnuts, soft woody tannins, soy sauce, and a medium finish. Really easy to mindlessly drink.

Fruit forward, well made. Earthy with dark fruit on the nose. Smooth and very drinkable now. Haven't had a great wine from this region of this one is nice.

Dark-hued Syrah. Aromas of dark cherry, smoke amd pepper. Flavors of black cherry, garrigue, smoke and white pepper. Well balanced, with integrated tannins. Nice balnced wine at an affordable price.

Nice mid-week red. Started out a little rough, but opened up quickly (30 min) to reveal a nice balance of dark fruit and earth/cedar, with a good mouth feel. Drinking nicely now.

Drinks like a rhone with fuller fruit, like chasing gooseberries. A bit acidic, best paired with food. Good grilling wine for traditional beef or lamb dishes.

Nice candied cherry/ black fruit aromas - good mouthfeel, tannins a little too forward at this point. Will wait a year and try again. Appears to have some potential when tannins regress

A little more fruit than last time, with some nice spice and black pepper on the finish. Simple but good. Good QPR.

Garnet with brick rim. Banana, cherry nose. Bright acidity, with medium to coarse tannins. Should enjoy with food.
