More red than inky purple black. Still pretty dark though. Plums (cooked and dried) on the nose. Slightly herbal too. Flavor is a bit heavy on the fruit bomb-vanilla sauce. It has a bit of character, but overall it’s just too much CA ripe, red. — 6 hours ago

Lovely red-maroon color. Smells wine-y with a hint of cedar and wood in there. Flavor is juicy and fruit-filled. Some plums, some berries and a nice licorice thing. Inky too. Ends with a great bitter bite. A prefect everyday red de España. — 2 days ago

Dark purple to black. Smells lovely with some tar and licorice to go with the rose water, blackberry jelly and cherry compote. Flavors are on the fruity side, but this is Syrah fo sure. Tannins in spades. Licorice galore. Darkness abounds. Pretty clean. Could use a hint of bacon, soil, barns or mushroom to make it better. Label has five stars, but I’ll give it four. — 6 days ago

Fruit driven nose. Bit of straw, black, & rasp berry. Little scent of pie or cobbler maybe. Flavor is elegant. Bit of smoke mixed in with the fruit and herbal notes. Label mentions the mysterious and ubiquitous cassis of wine label jargon. This time, yeah I get that. I can’t say it’s a whole lot more distinctive than high end CA Boudreaux stuff, but it’s tart, juicy and avoids the grape kool aide flaw of many Arg Malbecs. Nice everyday red. — 12 days ago

Nice brick/dark purple color. Fairly mellow nose. Flavor is classic Sierra mountain foothills Zin. Has jammy ripe berry flavors with some licorice and berry stuff. Some funky stuff too. Not exactly dominate zinful notes, but just great red none the less. — a day ago

So light in the red color it’s almost pink. Subtle Pinot nose. Hint of wood with the fresh strawberries. Flavor is thin. Maybe a softer, easier thing by intention. Lighter on the tongue, but has the classic flavors of Pinot. Would not say it’s bad. It’s just such a strange thing with it’s low alcohol and transparent color. It would be great as an advertised rosé. — 6 days ago

Hmm. Lovely old red frenchie with excellent character. Hint of some herbal, olive-y thing with a bunch of cherry-cola on the deep nose. Flavor is tart, rich and succulent. Has a bunch of summer-y sunshine in there. Mountain fruits and pine needles in the woods. Huckleberries and service berries on a July weekend. It’s an amazing experience to savor and enjoy. — 8 days ago

Very dark in the glass. Like blood in the test tube or the inside of a cut red beet. Classic toasty vanilla and cassis, blue/black-berry nose. Also some nice warm leather in there. Flavor is also very Cabalicious. Has a hint of cedar to go with ample black fruits (plums and berries. Bing cherry). Peppery with some licorice as well. Also has mocha on the backside. Balance is pretty good. A clean and smooth drinker. Plenty of tannins, but they are on the smoother side not extremely grippy. Hits the notes for a good well made Cab. Cool that it’s a screw-top as well. — a day ago

Dark brick red. Sort oxidized on the nose. Like dried fruits and apple cider. Flavor is tart and classic Italian. Lots of cherry. Some smoke. Hint of strawberry jam. Lovely balance. Licorice/anise comes later. Juicy but rich. Southern Italian wine wins again! — 6 days ago
