Would've blind guessed Zinfandel, except for the tannins, it's just as jammy as can be. A cuvée of all five Bordeaux varietals, with blackberry jam, ripe bursting blueberries, and cassis. Enjoy a simple, easy, sipper. The many glasses here gulped it down!

Really tasty but don’t recall specifics as I missed the opportunity to comment when tasting. Would definitely drink again, and again 😁

Holy moly. Best $17 Napa I've had in a decade. Needed a breather but great stuff.

Was trying to find the red blend we had been drinking in Germany, and the wine shop recommended this beauty. Rich and dry. Delicious.

Heavier bodied red. Strong berry flavors, grippy but calms down a bit with time. Beautiful medium red color. For me not really a summer wine much better in cooler weather.

Had the Meritage which was a classic "Bordeaux" blend. Held its own against the next two wines on my list.
