Still love this wine. Especially for the QPR this is a goto for a mid week red. Compared to the stags leap wine cellars Artemis and I truly enjoyed this more. Yes this is a Bordeaux blend but it had more depth and structure than the Artemis. Still a favorite.

Nice little Bordeaux blend. Not sure the exact breakdown, but good flavors overall in this wine (reminds me of a younger brother version of Araujo's Altagracia). Dark cherries, blueberry, very ripe fruits. Smooth finish, everything is working fine. Just a tad light and one dimensional. But for the price it is decent deal, and good restaurant wine.

Dark, rich red color. Cherries and leather in the nose, fairly tight. Smoky dark fruit taste. Light tannins, very mild flavor that fades fast. I don't think that this one will get much better with time. Pleasant and drinkable now.

This has nice flavors, but they never seemed to come together, it was disjointed. While I enjoyed the wine, the price is a bit steep.

Very light, not much to it. A very average $25 bottle.
