  March 20, 2011 - Dark garnet, pretty nice nose, black cherry, plum and some earthiness.It is restrained on palate, with strong spiciness, cherry and dusty notes. But the fruits diminished at the finishing, leaving a long and tannic finish. It tasted some fruits when opened but the fruits disappeared after 2 hours. I am somewhat disappointed that the fruits did not outlast the tannins. From a bottle picked up from the bin end sales.

  January 20, 2008 - Nice Merlot with some sweet cherry flavors. Only a little bit of fruit, nothing else interesting and a little hot on the finish. Not bad, easy drinking Merlot, but for $26, not a very good QPR.

  December 6, 2007 - Nose of currant and black cherry /blueberry. Taste was dominated by heavy currant and nice soft round tannins with some vanilla oak. The wine has rounded out nicely and I enjoyed it. Finish is a bit tart, but after 20 seconds, thats not too bad.
