Really great quality for the price. Honest, intense aromas and balanced. #meritage #redblend #bordeauxblend #chile — 2 years ago

Strong earthy nose of oak bark and loam. Black cherry, blackberry and currant reduction, cinnamon sticks and clove inform the nose. Plums of red and black just underripe, tart cherry, dried raspberry, tarragon, rosemary, dried violets and graphite shimmers. Young and juicy, much more to give! .

The nose is a little hot with alcohol. But it has lots of black fruit. The palate has lots of black plum and black cherry notes. This is a reliable, go-to wine. It is quaffable and has a $10 price point. — 4 years ago

Dark rye toast, blackest of currant, raisin and dried plum complement a nose of toasted sesame and maduro tobacco. Palate shows grill char, burnt brittle, toffee and resin knit into a rich and comforting blanket of espresso, bakers chocolate, black and red currant, blackberry, violet extract, cinnamon and Madagascar vanilla. At once a treat and a depth charge!

Big surge of bramble fruit, tastes like a lot of Zinfandel in this #redblend . Pretty well balanced overall with enough tartness, nicely integrated oak and trailing spice on the finish. Josh is upping their game in recent vintages. — 4 years ago

It’s a G thang. Not a well-liked vintage, so adjust flavors with your mind. Rim to rim black concentration. Black cherry and blackberry, dried black currant, espresso, licorice; dark chocolate, black pepper and violet aromas. Black cherry stays true to olfactory perceptions, add bing, dried cranberries, red currant reduction, basil, cracked pepper, and dried cherry. This number broke my berry abacus, and I could not imagine it in a better vintage. I think I appreciate what the tough vintage made Mr Ahnfeldt adjust to. This is leaner, and the cherry lends it a super T touch. I like the cherry. .

This #redblend is lovely with a reverse-seared ribeye. The nose has notes of black fruit and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied, rich, ribe, and round with notes of plum jam and spices. — 4 years ago

The nose is hot with alcohol and peppery.
The palate is round, medium-bodied, and smooth. This food-friendly wine is good with seared pork chops with a pan sauce. — 4 years ago

Ripe red and black fruits sweet ripe tannins. It’s a very delicious wine. It seems a little simple though, not much complexity with no tertiary aromas or flavors and the alcohol feeling for me is on the high side. Very good. #redblend #redfruitblackfruit #californiazinfandel #sonomawine — 5 years ago
