While the nose is unexciting (oak, berries, but low intensity) tasting is balanced throughout. Tannins are perfectly integrated. Black fruit, oak, pepper, hints of cardamom- but in a good way. Finish is medium. For a <$20 bottle, better than many in its category

Robitussin cough syrup meets bitter dark chocolate covered licorice, awkward tastes and no balance, some similarities but not like WE90 review. Bottle variation or flawed perhaps

Good QPR, had with bourbon glazed meatballs - went very well. Inky garnet. The nose has some fig and black pepper. A bit too much raisin on the tongue, with hints of cedar and following up with spicy black pepper. The body is moderately light. A little silky on the tongue, which was nice with the spice and light tannins. Better with some decanting time. Can't complain for $15

Deep red color. Rich flavor, good bouquet. Poor legs, though. Went well with grilled rib eye steak. A bit like a merlot.

Solid, value red blend. Fruit forward but restrained. Oaky.
