Quite a mix of reviews...this was on the staff Fav's shelf at wine store - good price, so i gave it a go...light red in glass, with some cherry fruit notes - on the palate i get some similar notes of cherry/berries...light bodied, not sweet or tannic. There is some background oak and a little smoothness on the finish due to this which is not bad actually. Not over oaked for sure. Hey, for the price on this, the QPR is pretty good i would say for simple wine that would appeal to the masses, and would be easy to drink solo...and hey, the label is kind of neat and looks good at parties!

Fairly plain, heavily oaked wine. More bright fruit and acidity with this grenache than with an oaked tempranillo from the same bracket.

Simple but not a fruit bomb, a refreshing change from the cheap fruit bombs.
