Black spicy fruits. Smells actually darn good. A touch tightened up but just opened under screw cap. Works at $10, give it some air. Melanie notes its a $12 finish instead of a $10 finish.

I think this wine is rather stunning and deserves a 90. Excellent balance and good mouthfeel. Interesting aromas of meat and leather, with both fruit and floral notes showing up. A bit of forest bed, too. Full-bodied and delicious. Would pair well with a number of cheeses, I'd expect. QPR winner.

Very dry red wine. Dark plums and ripe fruit with plenty of tannins. Acidity non-existent. Prefer Mourvèdre blended with other grapes to balance it out, but this bottle is 100% Mourvèdre and it shows.

Decent wine for the price. Had a nice round spicy flavor with a short to medium finish. Would buy again.

Fruity, fresh, and concentrated. Very good acid. A fun wine, probably a crowd pleaser, none too serious. 86-87.
