Past peak, but still punchy and fruity for tonight's snackins.

Tasted a bit watered down. No complexity, no depth. Not offensive either, but would not buy again.

Did not ring my chimes, but it could be that it may become more harmonious with a little time; wine felt clunky and disjointed; restrained in style compared to many Paso-area wines

Big fruit, juicy, smooth. Not amazing but enjoyable. Reasonable QPR.

No detailed notes, but I thought this was a fair value at $15 from local costco. Surprisingly subdued for a Paso blend (51% syrah, 25% malbec, 24% petite verdot). Abv @ 14.1. You can tell from the 2lb glass that they were targeting a much higher price point on this wine. Might buy more to see how they improve.

Big, juicy palate with lots of dark fruit. Hints of soy sauce and green pepper. This is a nice QPR.
