Juicy and the right amount of acid for me to keep me engaged. Cherries and plums are the prominent combo I’m getting here. — 3 years ago

What a surprise! I gravitate toward heavy cabs, but this blend is now in my “go to” list at Trader Joe’s! — 7 years ago

I’ve had this wine several times, and it consistently makes me happy! Dark ruby color with notes of plum, fig, cedar but never jammy. Good acid/tannin and a mouthfeel that is velvety and satisfying! One of my go-to wines at a great price point. — 6 years ago

Loved it! (Yes already past tense) Tawny color and floral nose. Dark plum, prune, and just the right tannin level for me. Hit all the right notes for me. I will hunt this one down again. — 7 years ago

What a fun and satisfying wine! I’m a heavy cab guy, but this one came out of left field and hit me right! Not at all an indiscernible mashup I thought it would be. Crisp green apple and pear complemented by cranberries and cherries. Good acid, not overly sweet with legit red zin vibes. I actually woke up next morning and thought about it waiting for me in the fridge. Too far?? 😄 — 6 years ago
