January 29, 2016 - Hard to believe that the previous bottle I drank was six years ago. Anyway, seemed to be a bit better than before. Oddly, the fruit was a bit more pronounced. Moreover, the tannins were not as present. The wine was more integrated. Very nice bottle, particularly for 9 USD.

October 3, 2010 - I liked this bottle better than the last. I still can't totally place it, but theres a very distinct aftertaste to these that I am not a huge fan of. It is really good up until then though.

July 7, 2010 - Though the tannins finish a bit rough and dry this is a solid, rustic wine. The nose shows dry forest and berries and some farm and tar scents. The wine is firm in the mouth and transitions the elements found in the nose to the palate. It seemed to open up and show better balance after about an hour. Great QPR.

June 8, 2010 - Tasted on second day of being open. Nose is more muted than previous experience with this wine with a little tar and black cherries. Taste is dark earthy cherry with some pleasant acids in the mid palate to finish. A little bitter tannin finish. Think I like this more than my initial tasting.
