This was the only kind of stand out at a tiny hole in the wall LQ store. With all the usual commercial brands I chose this one out of desperation. Not a bad find for the price. Had good standard GSM notes. Slight chill was helpful. Surprisingly balanced.

Mar 3rd, 2023Big jammy red fruit. Pepper, leather, cured meat. M+ intensity, full body, M+acid; M+ soft tannins, M+ finish. 14% alcohol. Overall very good balance. 2015 vintage - drinking its prime. A good wine but a little new world overly powerful for me. Out performs its $12.99 price tag.

Jul 3rd, 2020Lucious Barossa Valley blend. Deep ruby color and berry flavor. Enhanced the flavor of a steak, potatoes, chocolate or any other food. Nice nose. 2015 vintage drank in 2020. Just enough time for the tannins to soften.

Feb 6th, 2020Really disliked it with my first glass... 2 days later tried it again and am thoroughly enjoying it. It went from really acidic to light but flavorful and quite good.

Dec 24th, 2018Appearance: Bold red with hint of brown.
Nose: Dark fruits, subtle oak, alcohol, dark chocolate.
Palate: Not as fruity as thought but does have an almost sweet start when you drink it with a bitter dry end. No acidity, with light-medium body. Good tannins.

Nov 27th, 2018This was given to us by a kind store owner after they had a tasting. Tomi liked this a fair amount more than the Shiraz he gave us, I thought it was close. Free wine somehow tastes better except when it comes in a bucket, for some reason.
