Very good blend with a strong tendency towards cabernet. Strong earthy tones evident after the wine breathes a bit and opens up.

Much bolder than Hot to Trot, heavy on the tongue.

Meh it's ok, hot to trot better and smoother. Lighter finish but strong in the middle. The more you drink the better it tastes.

Mild spark at bringing. A bit too fruity. Sweet, dull finish.

Buttery?!? Vanilla. Some light fruit. Not my style.

Not a fan of this wine at all. Very different nose, almost slight butter undertones. The taste is very different too. Floral with a very weird flavor on the back end, almost reminded me of a vanilla candle. Bizarre wine.

Slightly more complex than the standard 14 hands red blend. Slightly heavy on the tannins in balance with the other flavors, but overall quite good.

An easy to drink medium bodied wine that is at a good price point. Nice balance between the fruit, oak, and spice with fruit (plum) being the most prominent. Long lingering finish that is smooth with little tartness. Would buy again.

Liked the berries and medium body, didn't love the long finish.
