Dark fruit, lots of herbal spice reminiscent of the holidays, and some gaminess I attribute to the 47% Mouvedre. Drinks a bit hot @ 14.8% and really lacks structure to make this interesting. Shows little acid/soft, non-descript tannins and a short somewhat bitter finish. Passable red wine, but not one I plan to revisit.

Part of my daily drinker discovery project. Picked this up from Costco. It has a lot more going on than the last two wines I tasted as part of this project. 47% Mourvedre, 42% Grenache, with a couple other Rhone varietals thrown in. Fruit forward but well balanced and a decent amount of structure. A lot of complexity for a wine at this price point. Great QPR. Will definitely be buying more of this.
