The bouquet is fruity and sweet, yet the taste is full, deep, slightly tart, with an oak finish. Really enjoyable!!

A Nice red blend from California. Showing black fruits with earth notes and chocolates tobacco herbs spices and vegetables.

A little harsh and need a year or two in the bottle to mature properly.

Nice mouthfeel with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

Needs an hour to open up properly and
Remove some of the vegetables notes.

Easy drinking and bold.

A blend of 46% Merlot, 24% Zinfandel, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Malbec. 16% of the grapes come from Napa County.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

86 points.

$17.

Tasty red blend. Medium body with light tannins. Had some berry cherry showing though. Enjoyed and would buy again.

After a day of delicious up north Michigan beer, this was the best I could find at the bar and grill we hit for dinner. And this is pretty good! Cherries, cola, dark chocolate (?), some black licorice, and some white pepper. Really popped w some spicier food. I’d buy this again.
