  Had at Piatti in San Antonio. Great QPR. Big, bold, lovely finish. Almost more of a cab finish than a zin. Would buy again.

  Very ripe but less alcoholic than I expected for a 15.6% wine. Good varietal and spicy flavors but limited food pairing as it is too big and will dominate most dishes. A bbq wine with Tri Tip and beans. Do not expect much from aging.

  Deep ruby color. Smells jammy and explosive, with blackberries mixing with raspberries, and I get cola, sweet tobacco and herbs. Juicy and jammy on the palate with chewy tannins and mild acidity. The black and red berry fruit is jam-packed with flavor. I get sweet cola, coffee and roasted chestnut and vanilla. A massive glycerin-like wine at 15.5% alcohol, but this is fun, crowd-pleasing stuff for sure. Includes some Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 18 months in used and new American and French oak.
