  The wine is a deep ruby red color. The easy going nose has blackberries, black cherries, baking spices, vanilla, wild flowers, and a touch of earthiness. This has medium body, soft, ripe tannins, and good acidity. The wine provides a mouthful of jammy fruit with some earthiness and spicy oak coming in on the back end. The finish has decent length with the spicy, earthy fruit. Not a lot of complexity but a very tasty week night wine. Offers an outstanding "quality to price ratio" if you can find it for under $10, like I did.

  The wine is a deep ruby color. Blackberries, black cherries, baking spices, licorice, underbrush, with some earth and violets on the very open and interesting nose. This is medium body with soft, ripe tannins and nice acidity. Loads of jammy, spicy fruit grab the palate, followed by some toasty oak and earthiness. Decent length on the spicy fruit filled finish. Not much complexity but very tasty. Killer QPR for under $10.

  Did not take detailed notes but recall this is killer juice for the dollar. Good berry nuance combined with some soft tannins. Well balanced and for under $10/btl, solid QPR.

  A nice deep ruby color. Blackberries, licorice, baking spices, cherry, fresh wild flowers, earthy underbrush, and some white pepper on the nice nose. Medium body with soft, ripe tannins and nice acidity. Rich and flavorful on the palate which is not heavy or overly ripe. Nice spice and earthy notes nicely balance the fruit. Decent length on the finish. Killer value at $10.

  This is an outstanding value!!! Red fruit and a hint of chocolate. Wow. Probably the best $10 wine around.
