A forgotten bottle in my cellar that I assumed would be over the hill. However, while it needs drinking now, if you still have any, it still has enough fruit, acidity, and tannins to make it a very good Cab. But drink up!

Amazing qpr. This is a wine to load the truck up on. At $9.99, this wine drinks like many $20 - $30 cabs I've had. There is so much wine here for the money, great extract, quintessential cabernet notes of cassis and earth. A touch of oak, some vegetal notes (not obtrusive) and incredible mouth feel. It has the weight and extract of wines two to three times expensive. Lacks some complexity to push it higher, but how can you complain at this price. Just an absolute pleasure to drink. If there were one criticism it would be the corkage method. I would much prefer a stelvin cap to the fake foam cork.

Consistent with prior notes, only change is this time I noticed as it came to room temp the balance came apart some. Still a very good qpr in my mind.
