Juicy, extracted, sellable. The most unabashedly fruity of their higher tier. Not bad, but made for the masses and not at all nuanced.

A blend of 38% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petite Sirah, 7% Zinfandel, 6% Tannat, 3% Mourvèdre, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 1% other; note blend varies Year/Year. Ripe fruit aromas with enticing spice. Very juicy palate, cherry and blueberry flavors, sweet cacao with a touch of citrus. Tannins a bit on the firm side but approachable. Medium finish ending with a spicy mouthfeel. Interesting wine, worth a try.

Incredible wine! Smooth, fruity - might be a little too sweet - but not overpowering. It is WAY too easy to drink!

Drinkable, enjoyable, and relaxed red blend. Not at all complex or intriguing, but sometimes you want a wine that just tastes good, agrees with the palate, and gives you something to relax with. This is that wine. Nothing less and nothing more.
