  Final bottle from a six pack consumed over the last couple of years. This is showing a little bit of development with just a touch of leather coming through the fruit, but remains pretty fresh and well defined. Still drinking very well and should age nicely for a few more years. Remains excellent value.

  This was really great for the price. Super funky, very barnyard, nice fruit, good acid. Really nice with food, well balanced. Got this at Costco. Will definitely keep an eye out for it.

  After one glass consumption of Barefoot Merlot I had to take a break.
  
  2 words about this wine - elegant and classy.
  Elegant loads of aromas of black berry, black cherry and tabacco are here but also subtle and nice smell of flowers and minerals.
  Classy taste of blackberry and black cherry but also blueberry.
  An acidity and tannis perfectly balance the taste.
  Nice finish ( medium long) with coca and hint of carmel ( tannins - very soft and shiny)
  Where is spice?
  I don't know and I miss this component here.
  Anyway great QPR.

  Hard to say more than what has been said below. This is very good, and extraordinary at this price point. Blue and black fruits, bacon fat and smoke, sweet spice and licorice, with a sweet (but not cloying) round finish. (Read Nostrabacchus and Micklethepickle - they've got this right). American wine makers get close with just about every other varietal, but can't touch this. And at this price, why look anywhere else?

  Very smooth and balanced; not much tannins, a bit jammy
