This wine by Apex in Washington state was incredible! Great balance and complexity! Spices, red fruits and excellent tannin! I would buy this wine time and time again!

Fairly light bodied red blend. Easy on the tongue. A bit of a berry taste in the front and morphs to light tannins on the back end. Pinot Noir drinkers would probably enjoy. Nice, easy drinking wine. Tasty but not terribly complex. I enjoyed it and would definitely get another bottle. Purchased at Total Wine & More.

I liked this better than the pros did. String fruit with a hint of blueberry. I am not a big fan of Ted blends but I would but this one again.

Big, rich and spicy, this has aromas of ripe red berry fruit with notes of cassis and black pepper. Flavors of ripe black currant and dark berry fruit.$18.99 /Total wine & More.
