July 6, 2012 - A nice ruby red medium bodied wine with good balance. Lots of currant and strawberry aromas. I was expecting overpowering fruit after the first few sniffs but the raspberry and cherry flavors were well matched with the minerality. This one would probably go well with a variety of foods. Not one for the cellar but a very good QPR@ $14.

March 16, 2012 - Tried at tasting. Fairly clear in glass, medium body. Good nose and tasty on palate. Finish is a little strange and too short.
