Surprisingly good for the price. Not too bold but it too subtle. Very good.

Deep purple in color with a ruby rim.

Fruity on the nose with blackberries, currants, cherry juice, light vanilla, smoke and like licorice.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Fruity on the palate with cherries, red currants, strawberries, licorice, plums, all spice and oak.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tart cherries.

This is an OK California blend. Simple yet drinkable. Not fully balanced, but nice enough for the weekday.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Not a sweet red but alc. level per ounce is great. Pairs great with steak.

Certainly drinkable, but nothing to write home about. Juicy fruit flavors with an extra dry finish.
