I love Chilean Cabs like Don Melchor, but one just can't afford them all the time. I wanted to find something that could give me a similar experience at a lower price. This wine gives me everything I want. Structure, dryness, characteristic Chilean cab things like green pepper. But it avoids the sin of so many lower priced cabs - fruiting you to death. The fruit is there, but it's refined, dried fruit. I damned near wept, I was so happy. And at all of $30.

This wine will be perfectly fine for people who enjoy a certain style, but it hits all the wrong notes for me. Overly fruity, not enough structure, mass market red wine feeling.

Nice Italian white blend. Light but also has some character. Really great QPR.
