Juicy, extracted, sellable. The most unabashedly fruity of their higher tier. Not bad, but made for the masses and not at all nuanced.

A blend of 38% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petite Sirah, 7% Zinfandel, 6% Tannat, 3% Mourvèdre, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 1% other; note blend varies Year/Year. Ripe fruit aromas with enticing spice. Very juicy palate, cherry and blueberry flavors, sweet cacao with a touch of citrus. Tannins a bit on the firm side but approachable. Medium finish ending with a spicy mouthfeel. Interesting wine, worth a try.

Sure I may be at the beach on vacation, but I really like this wine. It's soft and smooth with some nice tannins. I could drink this wine anytime. Get to know me and if our palates pair, I can lead you to the promised land. I like this and I think you will too.

Bright red berries - 'Crayola Red' aromas.

Medium ruby to garnet in color; plums, black cherries, and blackberry jam on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, molasses, and licorice with a long finish that leaves the flavor of eucalyptus in your mouth. It's pleasant, but not for everyone. Nellie doesn't like it. I think it's good enough.
