Very fruit forward. Easy drinking. Light body and mouth feel. Should be good with grilled pork chops

Very nice with New Mexican cuisine. Sweet and smooth. Not very strong up front and easy going down.

Ruby in color with a brick rim.

Fruity on the nose with cherries, blackberries, black currants, light vanilla, spices, wood, licorice, raspberry juice, Figs and white pepper.

Full bodied with high acidity and nice legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, cherries, cranberries, red currants, wood, licorice, vanilla and peppercorn. Tart cherries on the mid palate.

Medium finish with full, round tannins and spices.

Nice blend of Petite Sirah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Good everyday wine, but on its way out. This 6 year old is not going to last too long, so drink up. Not as fruity as it was a year ago.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
