Another disappointing bottle. Tired. Little flavor. The first few bottles in the case were great and had outstanding QPR. Should have drunk them quicker. The rating I assigned may be generous.

75% Grenache 25% Syrah. Sound ordinary Vacqueyras blend but nothing special. Bouquet and fruit elements attenuated, mouthful of nice herbals (sage, thyme, juniper) don't really compensate, but not bad in any sense, just no bargain. Tasted against a 2005 Arcadian Syrah (see) that was lovely, quite pretty, in fact Pinot Noir-like.

Similar to a previous tasting note. This one went from a great value to over the hill very quickly.

A fairly light Rhone with nice balance and pleasant Rhone fruit

Flavors of currant, cherry and berry with a hint of fresh grass and pencil lead. Medium tannins and finish. Nice drinker, but nothing memorable.

Good wine with great bouquet; however, still young. High tannin some acidity. Good buy at Total Wine ~$20
