Fantastic QPR. Tasting partner #1 and I both really enjoyed this bottle. Medilum to full-bodied, great depth and length on palate. Firm black fruits and some very interesting exotic chocolate and mocha notes. Enough acidity to keep it all together. 14.5% alcohol but it does not seem hot or overtly noticeable.

Riper than I like my wines, was expecting a bit more of a peppery syrah/grenache for dinner, but this was more thick and ripe with only a little acidity and tannins. For sure international in style, but for $13 this is pretty decent wine and an excellent value.

Great QPR. And 100% Carignan, though it's more full-bodied, fleshier and riper than your typical Carignan. 14.5% ABV.

Very rich and sweet in a CA way, like a very good Zin, but nicely balanced. Went well with a pasticcio from The Greens. Yum
