Red meat, blueberries, smoke and minerals. Really drinking well and one of the few good BOGO's Haskell's have had in the past few years.

Dark red. Boysenberries, earth, spice and minerals. Medium finish. Excellent again.

Maybe the best bottle so far with white pepper, spices, graphite, blueberries, menthol and cedar. Super complex and day 3 on this one. Long finish and a slam dunk for top ten of the year for this price point.

Meat, spices, blueberries, cinnamon and raspberries. Delicious and this wine has locked up a top ten of the year status especially based on the fact it is $11.

Pop and pour with one Vinturi. Big nose of blackberries, spices, minerals and cherry. Medium finish and just delicious. Top ten wine for sure in 2013 due to the amazing price.

A lock in my top ten this year. Blueberries, cassis, subtle spices and melon. Medium finish and soft tannins. This is at its peak so drink now.

Beef, smoke, blueberries, spices and minerals. Complex and much better than the last bottle. This is the steal of the summer on closeout!

Not as good as previous bottles. A bit vegetal with spice, subtle fruits and minerals. I do detect some possible heat damage on this wine.

Best QPR in a long time with spice, smoke, blackberries, minerals and dust. Complex and at a perfect drinking window.

Even better than the 07. Currants, smoke, cedar, black licorice and dust. Medium to long finish and balanced. Drink now or hold for five plus years. Oustanding value for $10.
