-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: ripe, non-descript red/purple berry mix; pleasant savory edge; a bit high-toned.
BODY: magenta-garnet color of medium-deep depth; clear; medium-full bodied.
TASTE: big/ripe; alc. can be tasted a little; red/purple berry jam; a touch earthy; low to medium-low acidity; touch of tannin; somewhat muddled; strikes me as a Drink Now wine. Gut impression score: mid 80's.

This is a great wine for the money. Definitely black fruit as others noted, great garrigue flavors after a couple hours of air. Best $12 bottle in a while.

Pretty tasty mix of fruits. A little drying on finish. Very nice QPR. Will hold remaining bottle for at least one year.

Fantastic value. Very good balance, body, and length for the price.
