The house red for the last year. This is consistently good with lots of great sweet cassis fruit in the nose. The wine is medium bodied with good soft tannins, very nice weight, delicious cassis fruit with overtones of pomegranate, develops a bit of anise on the finish. Very good length. At under $10, an outstanding QPR.

100% McLaren Vale Shiraz. Medium red color. Light aromas of dark berries and oak. Simple medium-bodied palate with blackberry and oak flavors. Medium-short finish. Fairly thin and not nearly drinking as well as anticipated.

Consistent with previous notes, with the addition of some leather.

Dark and thick now, with tobacco and dried red fruit. Shorter finish than I'd expect but a nicely aged bottle of wine that's ready to go now!

Sweet, dark fruit with some oak. Not much structure, just juicy and ready to drink. Grilled meats or pepperoni pizza would be nice here.
