  March 17, 2024 - This is surprisingly fresh. Drinking brilliantly. Nose - cranberry, vanilla, raspberry, cinnamon, toast.....Beautiful light colour with a brick red rim. In the mouth beautifully fresh fruit. All the nose plus some plum, leather, beautifully soft tannins. Very smooth and long. Left with the fruit in the mouth. Easy to drink the whole bottle, and at the price a great QPR. Yum.

  December 10, 2023 - Leather, smoke, dark fruit on the nose. Light body, with notes of pepper, dark berries on the palate. Finishes dry and delicious, went perfect with our jambalaya!

  October 31, 2023 - Bright ruby colored, medium full bodied, bright expressive rich round flavorful red fruit flavors with notes of balsamic, tobacco leaf and hints of vanilla and cocoa with moderate, smooth tannins on the lingering finish.

  September 17, 2023 - Much better than expected. Still going strong. Deep. Leather. Oak. Dark, stewed fruit. Complex. Medium and integrated tannins. Balanced acidity with some smoke. Enjoyed with a sweet and sour brisket.
