December 2, 2019 - Opened 2 hrs before dinner. With grilled NY strip-excellent match. Loads of fruit, good acids and nice structure. Vac-u-vin 1/2 bottle left & put in fridge. Next week brought it out and let it warm a bit. This time with a ribeye. Held up great. Tannins were well submerged. Not a knock your socks off Bordeaux, but definitely punches well above its price point. Wish I had bought more.

August 25, 2018 - Is there any better wine at this price point of less than $10??? The merlot shows with a pleasing fruitiness, almost full body, and round tannins. While predominantly merlot, the small amount of Cab Franc occasionally shows with a suggestive darkness and charcoal. Drank this as a pnp and while it reads as 14% ABV, I bet it's lower. The drinking window shows to 2024, but I don't see any reason to wait. Greatest QPR and DD of the year(s)! Thank you Winex! Should've bought cases.

June 16, 2017 - Too early to judge, but good fruit and decent tannins which should allow this wine to come together. My guess at this time is that I will probably rate this wine higher as it ages (3 more to go). We shall see!

March 18, 2017 - Sat, 03/18/17, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “90% Merlot + 5% ea C.S. & C.F. from an 8 ha plot with sandy & clayey soils in the commune of Pleine Selve;”
N: FRAGRANTLY ripe, plummy frt, though stamina MAY be somewhat lacking?
P: Med, poss LM, body; Nice frt on front with some structure mid-P which init builds, then finally unfolds to a Long, very slightly faint finish. As P is not currently up to the aromas, I'm thinking 6-9 mos might improve it? Otherwise, ok, but not (presently) particularly noteworthy. 88-90 pts Vinous (Galloni, 4/1/15) & 87-88 Suckling. [As of early Mar '20, wine-searcher still shows 2 sources @ $13 & $14.82].
