Cherries on the nose. Strawberry on the front palate and black cherries on the mid palate, however the fruit is under ripe and has a short finish. Was hoping for a good QPR wine but disappointed overall. Seems like the grape has past its prime...

Lots of raspberry, cherry and a bit of smoke on the nose. Palate a bit of the same with the fruits overpowering on the finish. Stump Jump a better buy even though I bought this for 10 bucks. Not bad for the price.

popped and poured. I thought the wine was a little astringent, but the women all loved. It was ready to drink, interesting and flavorful, similar to the dead arm we were drinking, except for the astringency. I'm giving it 89 but the others would score it higher. Perhaps my palate was dead.

Dark ruby color while still showing clarity. Nose of woodsmoke, creamy vanilla, citrus taffy, and bell pepper. Palate leads with tart cherry, high acidity, artificial red fruit, and lime juice. This is rustic and unfortunately underripe-- the fruit just isn't quite there.

Per the scale, very good.
