Dark berries up front that linger, with some veg to balance. Made me wonder if I liked it, but I kept going back for more, so I guess I did. Conclusion ... pleasant and easy to drink.

Taste profile just dies off quickly.Faint oak notes and caramel. Some vegetable characteristics. Light black cherries on the front and mid-palate. This was second bottle I tried of this wine and it warrants nothing better than 85-86.

Faint black cherry and licorice aromas open up considerably with air. Spicy cassis and herbal flavors, with a slightly bitter finish. Drink 2010-2014. Excellent with winter stews!

Not bad at all. There's quite a bit of Cabernet Franc in this, and it shows up in the nose. Nice color, very fruit-forward, not much finish, a bit on the light side. Decent, easy-drinking quaffer at a fair price. Wouldn't hold more than a year or two.

Attractive structure with balanced dark fruit and sufficient tannins to finish with a pleasant simplicity

Great value. This is a good crowd pleaser and a nice everyday wine.

Oaky and thin. Many better out there even in this price range.

The Cabernet Franc definitely shows in the nose. It is surprisingly pleasant to drink. More complexity and bigger taste than I expected. Good QPR.
