This is a great QPR bottle. Goes to show that a good wine does not have to be expensive. Drank it Wednesday - so my notes are from memory. Bold fruit with subtle spices. Good, not too strong tannins persist so the wine was balanced and not over the top like so many inexpensive syrahs. I like it!

A real meaty smell out of the bottle with blackberry, raspberry, oregano (?), other spices, and some heat. The fruit is a little thin on the palate with mouth-drying tannins, and a ton of black pepper. Alcohol is noticeable for sure. Good QPR.

Not your high alcohol fruit bomb typical Syrah. Muted blackberry fruit with a slightly tart finish. I would probably drink now because I don't think it is going to get any better.

A little darker and earthier than ZM' more recent vintage syrah, it nicely shows its age.

Wonderful syrah, especially when it came from Costco. Great nose, long finish, no complaints
