I agree with other CT reviewers that this is a good value at $8. Nice dark fruit accompanied by juicy acidity and some tartness. In time this might shed some of the tart qualities. Not bad at all for the money.
Wow - more zinny than petite sirah to me, but what a terrific wine for under $10. Translucent dark brick red-purple color; decent nose of pure dark fruit and chocolate; a blast of dark fruit in the mouth, with a dash of dark chocolate thrown in; holds really well through the midpalate, and it's a lovely, chocolaty finish with gentle tannins for balance. A candidate for the house wine. Terrific as a pop and pour.

Chocolate and cherry on the nose, full bodied evolution, cherry on the finish.

Excellent QPR! Fruity, delicious; 14.5% but doesn't drink hot. Great with BBQ pulled pork.

Took to a gathering - no formal notes. From memory: Juicy, fruit forward, easy to drink. A good wine for a BBQ.
