  October 8, 2018 - Super value, a big but balanced wine with dense black fruit but some lifted cherry notes above them.

  June 7, 2018 - We have stopped asking, "How is a $12 bottle of wine as good or better than so many $60 bottles?"
  
  Instead we just opened another one and it was gone within two hours.
  
  Please, go to Kroger (where the deal was made for distribution of this juice), buy a bottle, crack it and tell us, a "superb blend", like ANYTIMEWINE TIME says, or no???
  
  We say YES!!!

  April 12, 2018 - We'll start with the pour, while it doesn't come out like Maple sap, it takes its time from the bottle- the viscosity of a slow kiss.
  
  It's thick, velvety, cashmere-like.
  
  On the nose it's a roaring stock market with your well-timed investments being rewarded; that new Corvette you always dreamed of and finally got; or the closing on your custom-built home with a 2,500 bottle wine cellar.
  
  The bouquet doesn't end there, it's also the moment when your team wins the championship; your kid graduates from college; and the view from your hotel room on the beach forces oohs and aahs...
  
  Then you drink it...
  
  That's the friend you knew you had all along but hadn't seen in a while.
  
  It's the inheritance you received from an uncle you didn't know you had...
  
  It's the Opera you figured you might sleep through, but were wowed by the set and amazed by the voices...
  
  It's when your in-laws tell you that you were worthy of their kid all along...
  
  And on the finish...
  
  It's that clock on the wall in high school that never moved and took so long to get to the bell...
  
  It's the time it takes for your CPA to call you back during tax season...
  
  It's the pause between thunder-cracks in a receding Midwest storm.
  
  And the sticker.?.
  
  It's buying that basically-new 60 inch flat screen Samsung- from a pawn shop...
  
  It's your awesome first bicycle, picked up on Blue Light Special...
  
  It's the Reno of wines, in that it's the biggest wine with the littlest price, in the world...
  
  It is the definition of The Love of Wine.
  
  The only thing it isn't, is the Rubik's cube of complexity. That's why our score tops out at 91, because it just doesn't have the palate nuance to change flavor profiles across the sip, or over the course of the evening in the decanter.
  
  So pop and pour. We put so many of these $11 gems into our cellar, that we'll have them for a few years and maybe, when we open them after being in the racks long enough, aeration time will become a factor..., as that molasses high school clock turns its dials around the big calendar of Our Lives...

  March 24, 2018 - We left a CT Tasting Note on this rewarding vin last November; 90 pts. Tonight's bottle was even more memorable.
  
  It was just flat-out delicious. Not too fruity, nice, rich body, just absolutely a pleasure to drink and enjoy - and we bet your bottle will be empty before you realize how many times you poured the wine into your glass. No complexity to tell you about, it's not like the profile changed much across the palate, but jeez, such an enjoyable wine from start to finish.
  
  Get some. Don't wait. When the market realizes the real value of this juice, it will price it accordingly... Today we can pick it up at Kroger for $11 and we're going to buy all that we see at that price...
  
  Actually, we both said why are we buying $40-$80+ bottles of other goodies, when this vin is so darn tasty.?. Obviously, we love complexity in wine, the way a pour tastes different through the sip, like in our 92-98 point Notes- - but really, for what you get, this QPR is off the charts!
  
  Please, try this beverage!
  
  And please tell us, is it just us, or can you good people also sing this blend's laurels.?.
