Very nice, light, enjoyable wine. My wife and I tend to like big reds (cabs, zins, petit sirah, syrah, bordeaux-style (left bank)), so this was a nice change! Let it open for a little while, great fruit and some floral hints on the nose. A nice CdP-style wine, nice fruit flavors, good balance, food friendly, GREAT QPR at around $16.

well crafted replica of a CDP, a little more like CDR than CDP though. Well balanced and good acidity, finishes for about 15 seconds. Dark berries soften on palate then slight acidity brings on nice finish.

This is a great QPR CA Rhone wine- $16. Only downside is that I saved 1/2 of the bottle for the 2nd night and the wine didn't make it. 2nd night is a 83-84. Drink now. Heat and alc. is coming through too much on night two. Very food friendly and easy drinking wine on night one.

Lush GSM that aged well. Plenty of fruit remained, with low tannins and gentle acidity.

Always enjoyable, the wine needed at least an hour to calm down. Was very alcoholic when opened, more so than I had recalled
