Tight, showed promise, got tight again. Dark cherries when it opened up...the acid may overpower the fruit eventually. I'm at a loss whether this wine is going to make it. I've liked prior bottles better.

Consitent with past bottles this 2nd label from Vinoce is a good value wine with red and black fruits, some depth and well integrated tannins. Pleasant lingering finish.

Deep, dark syrupy black cherries on the nose along with cassis and blackberry. Really nice nose. Well rounded cab flavor too with the tastes echoing the aromas along with a little green pepper in the mid palate and a nice light-oak finish. Nicely balanced -- maybe a little tarry on the end, but that might improve as this sits open a little longer. Great QPR.

This is one of my favorite cabs. There are some floral nuances but good character. Much better in my opinion to other cabs in this price range.

about what you might expect at this price. a fairly decent cab, better than the average cheapie, but not quite into the realm of delish
