To me, a classic steak house cabernet.

More of a Valpolicella then a Ripasso but still nice with well balanced fruit and acidity.

On the first night popped and poured a glass and was quite nice 89 would say but on day 2 had turned into a nasty mess and was undrinkable for rest of the bottle.

Outstanding QPR and wonderful silky body.

Solid overall .. nothing to not like and the oak isn't overdone at all, nice balance. Would like it though a few dollars cheaper for what it is.

Definitely needed some air at this stage. Opened and it was all out of sorts. Left it for the following night and it completely came together.

Year in and out this is just one of the best QPR's.

This did improve after a couple of hours of air but on opening and during the first 45 mins was just not good in any way.

Crazy qood qpr. It's a lighter style cabernet but it has everything just right .. had it with a grilled pork chop which was a perfect match.

One of the best qpr wines.

This was overall I'd say a very strong 89 but the value is so great it deserves the extra point. You'd be hard pressed to find a sub $10 wine of this value. Just a great classic cabernet that hits all the right points and isn't a fake oak bomb at it's price point and really is better then most $15-$20 ones.

3/20/2021 - cmr Likes this wine:

Either this has come around or this was just a bottle that was above the others.

This just continues to be an outstanding every day qpr.

2/18/2021 - cmr Likes this wine:

Last bottle must have been off a bit as this was much more put together and as expected.

2/18/2021 - cmr Likes this wine:

Still needs a bit of time in the bottle or a short decant but by the end of the bottle had come together very nicely.

Disappointing compared to many previous vintages. Still good but rather on the light side.

1/24/2021 - cmr Likes this wine:

This really came together on the second day which has also been the case with some earlier bottles. Either give it some air or a few more months in the bottle for it to show best.

Didn't find anything special about this wine. Mostly flat with no nose.

Started as a really nice qpr .. smooth and easy and went very well with dinner (89). After a couple of hours though went downhill very fast and I didn't care to finish.

1/4/2021 - cmr Likes this wine:

Outstanding QPR at 9.99 so 2 extra points on value alone. Taste definitely a strong 90. Better then most CDRs at that price range.

Think it's a little overpriced at $20 but still a nice bottle of wine .. think $10-15 would be more in-line and a good value.

Don't think this was flawed that I could tell but was just not all that good. No structure, very acidic and a little cough syrupy.

This would make a good basic party or house wine. Nothing special but goes down nice, smooth and fruity.

Agree with others .. if opening now allow it to breath for an hour. Really opened up nicely.

Another winner from Seghesio. This one needed a touch of air but within 20 mins was singing perfectly. Great balance of fruit for a zin without the crazy jamminess so many suffer from.

Wow .. I very rarely go above 92 pts but this wine just stood out last night for myself and wife. Perfectly balanced, just the right amount of spice and fruit for a Zin.
