Delicious, peregrine to drink this for my tastes.

2018 vintage

Great value wine! It is at its peak. Nicely integrated, and well balanced. Very aromatic. Fresh dark fruit aromas. Earthy. Was good straight out of the bottle. But much better after an hour. Tannins and acids well-tamed. Would buy again, but let it age 4-5 years.

2018 vintage

Wonderful wine.

2018 vintage

Full bodied wine with lots of structure but still young and will mellow and improve with age. Notes of dark cherry and dark fruit, no shrinking violet.

2018 vintage

Cherries and mint on nose and palate with just a hint of tannins. Smooth and not overripe with a luscious, full mouthfeel. Drink now, I don't think it's going to improve.

2017 vintage

At a restaurant: PnP, but better after 30 minutes of slo-ox. Lots of bright red fruits on the nose and on the medium bodied palate as might be expected from the 65% Grenache (+33% Syrah + 2% Mourvedre). The palate also showed some darker red fruits and a bit of spice. The acidity was juicy and there was a touch of tannin on the finish. May mellow with some time in the cellar and will hold for several years.

2017 vintage

Drinkable but a bit too fruity and sweet for my palate. I can see it paired with a burger, but it didn't pair especially well with a margherita pizza.

2017 vintage

PnP, Had with blue cheese burger and fries. Been a while since my last GSM blend. Very tasty. Low acid, very aromatic, pepper and spice, fine tannins, slightly sweet finish. Very good QPR. Would by again to rotate as daily drinker when in the mood for something different.

2017 vintage

Surprisingly quite good. Med body, smooth on the pallet, full flavor yet low on acidity. If next bottle is as good then case worthy.

2018 vintage

Lighter than a Big Red, but quite nice. Super drinkable, fresh fruit (cherry mostly) but not a sour punch in the mouth at all. Go for it!

2018 vintage

Good QPR GSM. Drinks well, pleasantly surprised. I would get it again for this vintage. Red and black cherry.

2018 vintage

Taste medium/medium-low complexity. Straight down the middle fruit taste, mild body, main fruit black cherry. Acidity and tannin medium.

2018 vintage

Drinkable, but a little too fruit forward for my liking. Would not buy again

2017 vintage

Bought this because of the solid ratings here on CT. Don’t do it!!! Not even worth the $10 it cost.Nose is a bit closed but showing some lavender. On the palate it’s a disaster. ‘It’s like drinking an alcoholic Jolly Rancher candy! And not in a good way. Frankly, this has no business calling itself wine IMHO. The only salvation is that I’ve had good wines from this producer so I won’t write them off for this!!

2018 vintage

decent entry level GSM; I'd like to try their SLH GSM

2018 vintage

Too sweet and syrupy, not at all what I expected.

2018 vintage

Great wine for the price!

2017 vintage

Deep red in color, with a mellow berry and currant on the nose. Smooth cherry and cedar on the palate, with a slightly leathery, tobacco finish. This opened up to be a very drinkable and enjoyable wine. It is such a great value and taste – yet available at my local grocery store.

2018 vintage

COVID-19 "Shelter-in-Place"; 3/17/2020-5/31/2020 (Redwood City, CA) : Day 2, Bottle 2. Have enjoyed the SLH Pinot Noir from this producer and wanted a fruity and accessible wine to go with dinner while we relaxed and started watching The Witcher to kill the time. 90m air for this blend of 65% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 2% Mourvedre. Aged 9 months in 40% new French oak. Medium/dark Purple color. Aromas of raspberry, blackberry, baking spice, dried herbs and potting soil. Creamy texture, medium-body, …

Purchased on vacation in hawaii

2017 vintage

Very good gsm, medium weight, nicely balanced.

2018 vintage

No body or depth.

2017 vintage

Very nice rhone for the price

2017 vintage

Very good QPR. Peppery palate mellowed on day 2. Smooth enjoyable wine with a bit of jam on the palate and mild tannins.

2017 vintage

red fruit, pepper, great value play here

2017 vintage

Deep garnet in color with medium intense, youthful aromas of blackberry, black plum, clove and vanilla. This dry, medium(+) bodied wine has medium acidity, medium(-) tannins, medium alcohol level and a medium finish. The wine has medium(+) flavors of black pepper, dried herbs, tobacco leaf and liquorice. This is a good wine that is ready to be consumed now and won't benefit from additional aging. [Sorry for the robotic WSET 3 tasting note. Just trying to get into the practice …

2017 vintage

Very approachable and easy drinking

2017 vintage

Opened and let air for 1 to 2 hours. Good rhone style red with nice red and dark fruit flavors. Excellent value for the price.

2017 vintage

65% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 2% Mourvedre. 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet color in glass with mahogany overtones. Plum like nose. Good body on palate with moderate tannins and astringency. Very like a nice CdR. Ready now.

2017 vintage

Decanted for ca 1/2 hour. Vibrant nose of jammy cranberry and raspberry. Full bodied on the palate, quite smooth with gentle tannins, delivering surprisingly balanced fruit of cranberry and tart plums with firm acidic backbone and some heat on the finish. With more airtime it turned slightly more austere, perhaps from the oaky notes slowly emerging. Overall better than expected.

2012 vintage

Nice fruit and smooth, though this is a one-note melody, not a symphony, or even a jazz trio.

2012 vintage

Good fruit flavors, nice blend.

2012 vintage

Good fruit (mostly red), but rather simple and with a touch of heat.

2012 vintage

Lots of alcohol up front. Ok after opened for a while. Decant. Not bad for closeout, but would not pay $10.

2012 vintage

good every day crowd pleaser ,slightly darker than pinot noir, sweet notes of berry pie ,thin legs and low powered yet easy drinking and good qpr

2012 vintage

This was harsh day 1, but softened/opened up days 2 and 3. This needs air or use of an aerator. Not a sophisticated wine, but varietally correct and good to drink.

2012 vintage

Cotton candy, American oak and dark fruit. A bit too sweet for serious enjoyment.

2012 vintage

Great value red for parties, BBQ: Hahn '12 Central Coast GSM $9. 67% Grenache 28% Syrah 5% Mourvedre. Light mint, peppery nose; round, flavorful, fruity finish.

2012 vintage

A simple fruit forward wine, pleasant for lunch

2012 vintage

Red fruit-forward palate, and strong, almost harsh nose. Tasted with gouda cheese and almonds.

2012 vintage

Not a good wine. Strong harsh, chemical flavor.

2012 vintage

Are you sure?
