Good red blend. What's not to like? especially for 7.99 or something like that.

Dark ruby in color with a brownish rim.

Fruity on the nose with blackberries, plums, cherries, cranberries, vanilla, spices and black pepper.

Full-bodied and balanced with nice legs.

Dry to off dry, and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, vanilla, spices and peppercorn.

Short finish with soft tannins.

Nice blend of Zinfandel, Barbera, Merlot and Petite Sirah. Very simple, yet enjoyable, especially at parties.

Entry level for this winery. Might be too fruity for some.

After a while, some green pepper shows up and the fruits diminish so I think this is its last year. I kept it for a couple of years to check how long it would last. I guess, now I know.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Light red in the glass. Like looking through a rose colored glass. Smells like wine and fruit danishes. Tastes ok. Plums, cherries, and cranberries make up the fruit soup mix. Has just enough tannin and just enough acid to make it drinkable. Nothing for a special occasion but fine as the house wine at a cheap Italian-American bistro or something.

After 3 hours of moving snow....I’m ready for anything that is reminiscent of warmer weather... this is perfect for the moment

Really good for the price, not too sweet at all the way I like red blends

Clean and smooth aftertaste. Opposite of the time I had orange juice seconds after brushing my teeth.
