Lovely - young, lots of fruit (raspberry/plums), a big wine that developed more complexity over the first 30 minutes. Enough tannins to hold things together. A great QPR and one we'll look for again - like, tomorrow.

Really nice bottle. Started out tannic but opened up within 5 minutes. This is a huge wine - not overly fruity - but gobs and gobs of complex flavor. Cocoa, spice, coffee.

Really nice bottle for $7.99 from WTSO, wish I'd bought more. A bit richer than many Italian whites. Peaches & Melon. Great hot weather sipper.
