A nice ruby red medium bodied wine with good balance. Lots of currant and strawberry aromas. I was expecting overpowering fruit after the first few sniffs but the raspberry and cherry flavors were well matched with the minerality. This one would probably go well with a variety of foods. Not one for the cellar but a very good QPR@ $14.

Truffle, some tar and aniseed as well as a hint at cinnamon on the nose. Palate has quite good acid and tannin, length is decent as well, but the nose is more interesting than the palate.

Tried at tasting. Fairly clear in glass, medium body. Good nose and tasty on palate. Finish is a little strange and too short.

SCMWA Passport April 2011. Unusual but very nice.

I'd buy if it was $9.99 on shelf. Not bad with Thai food though.
