Really easy quaffer. Definite old world/new world hybrid.. you can tell it's a Bordeaux style blend, but there is so much juiciness and freshness of fruit that it can't hide it's new-worldness very well. Actually really nice and easy drinking for under $20, I'd buy again.

Med+ body; black and red fruit with some earth/tobacco. Rich and sexy.

Not a bad South African Bordeaux-Style Blend. Red and Black fruits and even a bit “jammy.” Have hints of tobacco and earth. Has a little bit of a green quality. Medium Body. Really good QPR.

Deep red, dry, smooth blend. Cherry and berry on the fore palate with cocoa at the finish. (BBQ ribs w/ Tim & Dan Artz)

Was confused if this was cabernet or blend but this photo matches other photos in this wine. Enjoyed this wine.

Big aroma of dark cherries and plums. Big middle tannins of plums, cocoa and a touch of oak. Then the dryness in the finish. Let it breathe for the mellowness.
