Simply amazing for Halloween! Really bold and juicy BBW. Now sure which grapes make up the blend but it’s very tasty. I wanna try more from this line. My friends were talking about it days later. #badandboozypod #winereviews #delectable

California Red Blend. You can smell berries as you are pouring this wine into your glass. Velvety finish. Good but a little to light for me

Not a very bold wine. Very faint scent of berry but nothing that pops at you. Taste is smooth and it's easy to sip on. I have had better red blends for the price but glad I tried it.

Not dry. Perfect dinner table wine. Taste like a fairy tale ending.
