A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Rhone blend, with blackberry, raspberry, coffee and spice on finish, a bit past peak, drink now. www.winelx.com

Clearly in a peak window showing its CndP heritage - nice blend with floral and minty aromas with a palate of black raspberry and cassis, thyme, anise, and smoky earthiness on a soft if somewhat short finish. Solid value for library selection at $25 via WL's winetext.

Aroma loaded with fruit along with some herbal notes. Palette picks up spice and cracked pepper immediately with the fruit tagging along well. Medium tannic structure, fairly smoothed out now. Finish is nice, not long. A very nice wine for the price and it is the kind you can drink regularly rather than a special occasion wine. I think it has some life left even if it doesn't get any better, it is good enough to enjoy with dinner.

(Rasa Vineyards QED Red Wine Columbia Valley) An aromatic tour de force with blueberry, garrigue, white pepper, crushed violets, smoked meat, chocolate, and earth. The palate shows great elegance and deftness with vivid, crystalline clarity, moving along gracefully to a long, extended finish. Perhaps the best QED yet. 79% Syrah (Les Collines, Seven Hills, Bacchus), 9% Mourvèdre (Monette’s Vineyard, Alder Ridge), 8% Grenache (Monette’s Vineyard), and 4% Viognier (Les Collines). Aged 24 months in French oak (20% new). 14.9% alcohol. 549 cases produced.

Enjoyed this. Loads of blackberries and blueberries without being overbearing. A touch of earth to go with it.
