Pretty sure I remembered this being a decent QPR when I tried it a couple vintages ago, and figured the price is attractive at 11. Color beaujolais red with matching body. Simple aroma of bright berry and wood. Uncomplicated flavors of sour cherry and little else. The body is thin, almost watery. At second glass, I'm reaching for a Tylenol. Although less than half the price, the style of this wine reminded me of the '01 Sky Zinfandel consumed last year, which I also did not enjoy at all. Zero for two this night.

Reasonably bright red fruit, finish a little short, not as good a their regular bottling, but if < $10 reasonably priced

stinky nose reminiscent of a pinot. Smells a bit like the inside of a shoe. Dark fruit flavors with good acidity.
