Nice Cab/Carmenere blend. Fairly typical for the region with bell pepper and blackberry aromas and flavors. Juicy dark fruited attack, then dries out a bit from mid-palate on to the finish. Mildly astringent tannin on the finish. All in all, well balanced with typicity, but lacking the roundness and finish to be outstanding.

Very solid red, a little less intense and smoky than the 2008. Nose is intense with dark fruit, slight smoky notes, and lots of mint. Palate is medium bodied, with dark fruit and a nice finish. Tannins are there, but this wine falls to the elegant side. Great QPR.
