Syrupy and overly fruity with little acid or tannin. It might be good with strong cheeses (similar to port and stilton), but hard to enjoy on its own. Decent table wine; I hope for good things to come from this vineyard.

Juicy and slate slate slate! Hard to drink without food though. Tried to have a glass after my meal and it was like sucking rocks. Super interesting though,

I wanted to hate this, because dissing on Texas is fun. But honestly? This is downright good, and fantastic QPR. If it wasn't from Texas it'd sell for twice as much no problem. If I didn't feel the peer pressure from the other ratings I'd give this a 90 without blinking.
Other tasting notes are spot on. Juicy berries, sharp but not annoying tannins. A little absent mid-palette, but otherwise a crowd pleaser. I've had bottles easy 5x as much that didn't have half the flavor. Pop and pour straight from the 54 degree cellar.
