Fantastic. This is what we should be drinking for full bodied reds. Lots of character, not a lot of oak getting in the way.

This was really a nice surprise. Lots of fruit but there’s some nuance there too. While I wouldn’t say there’s necessarily a pronounced sense of place, it’s awfully enjoyable. Massive QPR here.

Bought at Costco for $12 or less. I'm fond of this for the black pepper that comes through from the Syrah and the overall balance.

Nice, light body GSM blend with enough fruit to hold up to the acidity. Reminds me of a Lirac I had recently.

Started nice: fruit, sweetness and rounded. Dissipated too fast.

Smooth with a nice hint of fruit. Front and back are similar. Can easily drink this by itself.

Enough concentration with black fruits. I think M content is higher? @1200, Nongtang, 190903
