popped and consumed, let breath in glass for 45 min to an hour...

attractive coloring... nose of mint, tobacco, earth & ripe, full fruit... juicy & lush on the tight palate, well structured and balanced, with a nice core of dark ripe fruit, with tobacco, & a little hint of vanilla sneaking in with the dry, tannic finish... solid, excellent QPR Merlot in my opinion, 91+

Agree with your comments. Lots of black pepper in there as well. I will buy some more at my earliest convenience, i. e. tomorrow.

The merlot is very nice, but the cab is a killer.

Keep ignoring this producer WS

i agree with your comments about the Cab , the Claret, while a definite though slight step down in my opinon, is also an excellent QPR for the price

You guys are very correct with regards to the Cab, after seeing it recommended here I picked up a bottle. Tried it, loved it, and now have 6 more waiting for me at Winex. This sounds like a killer under the radar producer who puts out quality wines for nice prices. Will definately look for the Merlot, Claret, and others. So who first discovered this producer?
