QQPR

TASTING NOTES:
“This red blend has aromas of plum, blackberry, mocha and smoky oak followed by rich flavors of black fruit and cassis, with a hint of fresh herbs. Approachable tannins and a round, full body lead to a structured, but soft, lingering finish.” (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.79, RS 0.01)

82% Cabernet Sauvignon 8% Merlot 6% Petit Verdot 3.5% Syrah 0.5% Petite Sirah

BARRELS:
15% American Oak, 10% French Oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Ah, the early internet gaming scene and its slang. From the minds that brought you acronyms like “LOL,” “l33tsp34k” like “n00b,” and whatever “moar” is also comes “QQ.” What is “QQ?” Well, it’s what you tell bad players when they’re whining about losing because they’re bad. Apparently it looks like crying eyes? It also might be related to players having to hit Q twice to quit out of a game in Warcraft II (1995), so telling someone to QQ was basically telling them to quit.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Grilled steaks or other hearty dishes.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Cheezburger.
