it reminded me of a big juicy Australian blend that's well put together. Enjoyable but bad QPR

Too youthfull , needs another 3+ years for abv to calm and tannins to integrate

Good QPR, casemates buy

Brick color.
Showing tertiary, raisin, oak, toffee, slight almond
Hint of Jimmy fruit. Very integrated tannins, smooth tart cherry acidic finish
long finish.

I can totally see why. Wellington makes a zinfidel based port. Really enjoyable experience. Rates based on QPR

Very interesting, jammy apricot, orange juice acidity, and lime stone minerality

Intriguing. Very yum. Full body, slight oxidation

Congruent, very well balanced a complete wine but missing a special something? Integrated fruit tannins and acid. Overall a solid good wine

Seems to not finished fermenting or started fermenting again in the bottles, some wild yeast characteristics

Wow, I should have bought more or had more patience.

Decanted for over an hour, alcohol is present bit integrated. Jammy, plum, blackberry, American oak. Grippy tannins

cedar, green bell, black olive. tart cherry. Just okay, nothing really exciting or interesting about this wine.

It reminds me more of 'natural' wine fermentation funk, than flawed. Still enjoyable.

Cork crumbled, but wine was fantastic. Young and vibrant nose of berry, cherry, cedar, violet. Integrated tannins with just enough acid to clear the palate

Very well constructed wine they will benefit from another few years laying down.

Decent QPR. Nice to pullout for weekday drinking wine

Really starting to show, but likely should last down for a few more years.

Hints of green bell, graphite, violet
Slightly hot finish.

Good QPR. Burned my first 2 pizza, 3 got a hole, and forth was a rectangle but good. Poured a glass of 'blendo and it hit the spot

This is done good juice. Everything you'd want in a juicy fruit bouj. Tart raspberry, rhubarb, hints of vanilla.

Should have decanted, really started to open up after an hour. Really enjoyable for the price.

Hard to justify price.

It's not a 'bad', it just doesn't have anything interesting about it.

8/9/2020 - KingBossKoopa Likes this wine:

Ruby colored
Raspberry nose with some wild fermentation notes, cedar wood, leather, spruce / herbatious
Taste raspberry, big but smooth tannins, black currents

Approachable price to share with not big wine folks, but shows some classic Margaret River Chardonnay characteristics.

Good

It's just too big and lacking complexity. Might need more time, not really showing its age

7/24/2020 - KingBossKoopa Likes this wine:

Big white, honey and white flower. Mineral and clean acid finish. Concrete shows. Needs to lay down for a few years.

Open an hour before drinking. This needed time to open and stay showing more complex characteristics. Good wine, but would like some more nuance

Fun big wine. cedar wood, smoky, charre, rich dark-fruit flavors, blackberry, a little eucalyptus and peppery accents, full-bodied and clean finish but a little short for such a big wine.
