Blech. This was syrupy and way too sweet with a funk on the nose that took a long time to blow off. We did PnP it so I'll allow that it was less heinous as it opened up, but only a bit. It was just a ton of residual sugar and weird flavors.
Got it from our local wine club who regularly gets overstocks and 'test' runs of new producers. Would not drink again.

It's a $10 bottle from Costco, so my expectations were met and even exceeded. Moderate tannins. Lots of dark fruit. Some leather on the nose. Nothing crazy here, but solid QPR on a versatile red.

Lovely balanced wine with mild acidity and a medium mouthfeel. Notes of flowers and grass on the nose. Creamy light stonefruit on the palate.
Paired with cheeseboard and it did especially well with the sharper alpine cheese we had, as well as the softer cheeses.

Paired with pizza. Decanted about 45 minutes.
