Last had this July 2023 and it was noticeably improved: soaring aromas of beautiful delineated peach & apricot, powdered sugar, lemon meringue and lime cream. Just epic nose, smooth & silky on palate, still vibrant acidic backbone and sumptuous orchard fruit, orange blossom & all soaked in honey. Wowza - our guests were astonished… — 6 days ago

Drinkable for less than $10 @ Costco but nothing to write home about, use for Sangria or just quaff — 10 days ago

Oh yeah baby, $10.50 closeout - legit old school Sonoma Zin w/some bottle age! — 14 days ago

Tropical fruit, grassy, gooseberries, herbal - about every flavor descriptor except cat pee. Zesty acidity, nervy, just a bit watered down. Hot weather quaffer — 16 days ago

Last had this in June 2021 and - alas - it is on the decline. Big time bricking, tons of complexity though, most all secondary aromas, some hoisin & soy sauce in the nose, balsamic, roasted coffee, dirt, camphor, just a delightful swirling whirling nose. On the palate, still well balanced and elegant, some black & blue fruit, decent well-worn tannins and impressive length on finish. Paired well with/grilled ribeye. — 7 days ago

Had this vintage awhile back and it might be shut down: reductive nose, quite tight & angular - all knees & elbows — 12 days ago

Similar to a previous vintage - but more elegant w/less oak prominence. For less than $15 - great value — 14 days ago

What others have said: glorified CDR, tasty but not impressive at all. Used to be able to afford Gigondas on the reg - not anymore and this doesn’t scratch the itch — 7 days ago

Think @Sipping Fine Wine got the note right, I would just add this had really incredible mouthfeel - the tannins were solid but very finely grained & integrated. Regal bearing, long life ahead - impressive QPR — 9 days ago
