Have had this wine about a half a dozen times. It's nice, but somewhat unremarkable. And tonight it suffered from a case of the girl next door hanging out with a group of supermodels. All by herself she's really sweet, but in the present company she just get's overlooked. Nose had some toasty oak with a little bit of tobacco. A bit of nondescript red fruit on the palate. Tannins were in balance with the acid. Finish was tart and on the short side. Nothing bad about the wine, just not all that memorable. Would not purchase again.

Nice but unremarkable wine. Smoky with a bit of oak and tobacco. Very short finish. Not much fruit. Better wines out there for the price. Would not purchase again.

Nice blend. A bit to heavy on the oak. The oak didn't show itself until about an hour after the wine was open. Decent amount of red fruit flavors and a balanced level of tannins. Would purchase again.

Smoke was the dominant element. Nice wine, but not a good QPR. Consistent with prior bottles. Would not purchase again.
