Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Nice fruity nose with blackberries, black currants, sweet plums, sweet cherries, leather, earth, violets, metals, vanilla, oak, licorice, chocolates, coffee, alcohol, Mediterranean spices and peppercorn.
Full bodied, jammy and rich, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Fruity on the palate with blackberries, plums, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, leather, chocolates, mocha, dark coffee, spices and peppercorn.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
Good right out of the bottle, and didn't change much afterwards. Well balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Easy drinking and not very complex, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
A good sipping wine that will also work well with grilled meats and parties.
Nice acidity kicks in at the ending and makes it interesting and enjoyable.
A Central Coast blend of 71% Syrah, 16% Grenache, 8% Zinfandel, 2% Mourvedre and 3% Petite Sirah.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Deep purple in color; black cherries, vanilla, and cigar box on the nose; medium plus acidity, medium tannins; tastes like plums, cherries, and a hint of chocolate with a long finish. It's a little hot, but very drinkable. Nellie likes it.

No vintage on this. Nice blend of GSM plus Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. Full bodied, smooth PnP, really love the licorice and anise on midpalate. $14 Costco great food wine or for gatherings. Nice chocolate, espresso, and leather notes. Easy drinking at 14.5 alc. no burn anywhere..careful! 😜 Not overly complex...decent balance...nothing offensive! .

Jun 7th, 2020Delicious, sweet and fruity and wonderful aromas. A great buy for $15 /// Had it again 11 weeks later and it’s not as good. Lots of vanilla and a little too sweet. Still easy drinking, but aroma is not there. Puzzled. Might give it one last chance if I find the $11.99 deal.

Exquisite! Tastes like a million but only costs $15. This is a lovely choice for any red wine fans.
