Glaring ruby, clear and aromatic. Very interesting blend, robust and spicy . Light body, juicy and fruity with a unique freshness .A little acidic but expressive. Very enjoyable and great value .

opens up quite quickly, but definitely gets better after 1-2 hours open. purple colour, nose with red berries and cherry, slight earthy, but not at all disturbing. Surprisingly medium bodied and smooth. Definitely a nice wine.

Medium purple color. Dominant plum fruit with red cherry and some blood orange. Earthy, unusual but interesting. Tannins prominent but not overwhelming. Good value.

Raspberries with the pleasant hint of rose petals on the nose. Light mouthfeel but has a sexy glycerine effect that coats the palate gently. Some tart cherry and bright berries but with rounded edges. In good balance with a satisfying finish that makes you want another sip. Splendid wine. A solid QPR. In fact, my QPR of the year so far.

Bright red fruit a bit tart on first taste, pencil shavings. Sour cherry, surprisingly light on its feet for 14.5 and it calls you back for a second sip. Showing a little young, not sure I agree with the 93pt parker score, but a nice effort overall.

Velvety smooth and tasty with a few layers. Drinking great now - no need to wait.
Flavors of black cherries, baking spices, black pepper, some molasses, and graphite. Wish finish was a bit longer.

Notes of black cherries, brick, and licorice. Soft tannins and balanced acidic backbone.

At its best now. Not the most complex wine, but very pleasant to drink, even just by itself.

I like Brett, so this works for me. Strong barnyard.

Interesting wine. Fruity, flowery, rocky. Moderate- tannin. Dark fruits. Phenomenal value at the mystery case price. Solid at $15-18.

Very nice wine but needs time. Opened for 2 hours and then drank over the next two days (with pumping). Best on third day.

Nice plum and length to this, bit of tannin.
Quite good but not rave review as this is short on body and substance, but liked it.
Decent PQR at $17...

G,S,C,M aged in concrete and French oak. This is super fresh and crunchy but with good weight behind it. A terrific bargain around the $20 mark.
