Really hitting on all cylinders, what a fantastic wine. This is the best QPR that I know. Complex, intriguing and food friendly. The best wine at this price point.

We have been through the card at Cline a couple of times but actually this one came from a Binny's tasting last year. Sadly such events are a thing of the past in the current moment. Must have been impressed then to throw down. Consuming now am more than impressed. Very impressive powerful wine, oodles of brambly fruit, grip, length, all round pleasant experience and what a sporting price!

Held up pretty well over 2 of 3 days, nuances were similar to WA90 TN, definitely got the smoky rustic wild blue-black berry scents and earthy forest flavors. Seriously miss the SBM Contra Costa of yore (14& 15 still out in the wild it seems), but this is a worthy bargain with some hints of that style for a fraction of the tariff.

Bigger day 2, but less fruit. I thought this drank better day 1.

Beautiful Mourvèdre and an absolute steal at $15 at TW.
