Kermit Lynch is an importer but he is headlined on this bottle. 14% alcohol, opened and poured. Rich ruby color, grenache nose, needed some time to integrate but the fruit is delicious and mouthcoating, lots of legs, plenty of potential. This is not a simple wine. I give it 90 points and think it will show much better with a couple more years of age. Best of all was the price $12.95. Makes it a buy for me.

I bumped this thread because I just found this wine at Whole Foods in Santa Rosa, CA discounted to $10.79 with a six bottle purchase. This is the best QPR I have ever found.

Great price. That is below my wholesale cost for the wine....but with our ridiculously high alcohol taxes, that does not surprise me. Thanks for the TN.

Yeah we have to price it a bit higher here, but what a great find. The 2007 vintage has been delivering some great wines from Rhone.
