Medium scarlet color. Nice black fruit aroma with hint on minerality. Medium body, nice fruit and acidity. Fine tannins. Very nice with pasta with red sauce. Good QPR.

After reading the good review from IWC I was expecting much more from this wine. I could not find any Vacqueyras in this wine. Somewhat shy nose of plum, cinnamon and raspberry. On the palate it is a little diluted, lacking structure even with some abundant tannins. Some nice olives notes. I'm afraid that the fruit will die before the tannins resolve.

Found this to be a very interesting wine.....Explosive fruit and well balanced yielding a slightly acidic finish.....as hours passed this wine became something completely different. Closed down a notch, but mellowed or evened out...finish increased, hidden supple trace elements surfaced. Not a bad buy for $17.

Tasted by vinoblm on 5/21--uugh! started out with some fruitiness--30 minutes later, nothing! I must be spoiled if this is regarded as good wine.
