Blackberry, violets, with olive and smoke. A wonderful balance of fruit and savory elements. Spectacular Syrah and miles ahead of Qupe base offering Syrah. Well worth the 30$!

Bought this at Costco for $19 and it's pretty fantastic for the price. I'd pay 29. Really nice spice preceded by a small and subtle cherry.

Another Total Wine pick-up, as I root for my LA Clippers on game 2 of the playoffs. Bien Nacido Vineyards is a cool-climate vineyard on the central coast of California. The word Qupé (pronounced kyoo-pay') is the Chumash Indian word for California poppy. Qupé wines focus on Rhône style wines, most notably their Syrah. This one still drinks young, shelf it for the next 7-10 years. Love this brand - next time you are in Los Olivos, taste their wines! ~$24 | #qupe #biennacido #syrah

On the eyes: Rusty Red-Garnet, Med Opacity, Bright, Med Stain/Tears, No Gas/Floc.

On the nose: Med Alcohol, Blackberry/Blueberry, Vinous/ Herbal notes.

On the tongue: Med Acid, Med Alcohol, Med Tannin, Jammy Black fruit, Blackberry-Blueberry, with Smokey Pressed Meats, Long Finish with Good Structure and Med Complexity.
