5/12/2011 - PhilSandifer Does not like this wine: 65 Points
Notes of flat Sprite and cough medicine. It's a perfect storm of unfortunate - a cloying flavor, a harsh aftertaste, and a complete lack of subtlety or nuance. If this were a mass market cheap wine, it would be vaguely disappointing. As an ostensibly quality, serious wine, it's just about the most spectacular failure I've drunk.

Blech.

Among the biggest, spiciest Zinfandels I have ever had. Absolutely massive and flavorful, and a lovely QPR with wide availability in wine stores makes this an excellent wine to go find and try.

Delicious, deeply flavorful Grenache. Rich without being overpowering, this was quite a nice bottle of wine.
