My final bottle, it did end up a decent wine for the QPR. The acidity is somewhat more muted/balanced than before. Both the nose and the palate give notes like dark cherry and pomegranate. Fruit did settle out pretty quickly (30min or so), it was a nice enjoyable couple of glasses while watching a thunderstorm. Definitely drink now!

Decent wine, there is some strong acidity going on, gives a real pucker up feel. Like dark cherry and pomegranate. Nose is decent too. Fruit was not massively forward, feels like it is starting to age out.

You know, I have bashed Cosentino here several times. I used to be a huge fan when Mitch was in charge, but since then, well, um, .... This wine is certainly serviceable with good fruit (although a bit too much Black Cherry Kool-Aid). I bought this for $15-ish and I do not regret it. Very good. thedrunkencyclist.com
