Great QPR from Costco. Rich dark cherry and plums, layered with that Chinon earthy, woodsy quality reminiscent of Pu-erh tea. Plenty of acid and tannins. Drinks a bit hot, unsurprising at 15% abv.

Solid well made wine but lacks the vegetal character of cab franc and reminds me more of a leaner Malbec. Plum, bramble, leather, tobacco, spicy. Medium-full body, low-medium acid, low-medium tannins. Accessible crowd-pleaser. Expected even better for a $20 Argentinian wine.
