  A 'jammy', fruit-forward wine that was pleasant to drink but I feel that it's overpriced. Too 'casual' for me as a $30.00 wine. Definitely will be drinkable for 2 more years (thru 2019) if stored properly. Won't buy again as QPR not the best.

  The words of the other tasting notes captured this wine well for me: pop n pour, dark fruit, med to low acid, high alcohol. The end result for me was that this wasn't a very special wine, especially at a $30 tariff.

  Dark fruit with subtle brown spices. Medium to full body. Juicy on the palate. Great for pop n pour. Drink now.

  Drinking this wine is like hitting a 3-wood off the tee when all you need is something in the fairway. It's not a monster wine that bowls you over with big fruit. This is a reliable, easy drinking, pop-and-pour wine that lays the groundwork for a bigger wine later in the evening. We enjoyed it while waiting for our steaks to finish grilling.

  Somewhat interesting - the Carignan brings some interesting properties to the wine. Meat, earth, leather, tobacco. Acid is med (-). Alcohol is high. Ripe fruit. Some vanillin off the new oak.
  
  Wine displays some nice characteristics -- the high alcohol is a little overpowering, however.
