Color: Dark purple hues with slightly lighter tinge. Little transparency. Nose: over ripe red fruits - jams - and smoked meats. Flavor: heavy fruit on the forward - blackberry jam, with a bit of cured meats and toasted oak. Middle sees consistency in the flavor profile, with the protein and oak elements taking a back seat to the fruit component which really fills the mouth. Finish is silky smooth with a decent linger, easily a minute plus. Medium bodied. Dry.
Smoky goodness. Easy, consistent drinking wine that doesn't need to breathe to enjoy. Great QPR for what the bottle conveys. Only downside is that sometimes the overall profile seems a bit thin. Likely to see little improvement with aging, so get a few bottles to have a consistent supply on hand.

Dark magenta with very slight clear rim. Raspberries, strawberries, tobacco, alcoholic heat. Firm tannins. Low acidity.
