2014 vintage. Black cherries and spices. Easy drinking, less rustic tannin than the 2013 vintage.

One of the smoothest blends I've had. Used a decanter so it could breathe and it lightened up the taste. Slightly fruity with little tannins. Would definitely get again.

Rich, succulent and jammy with blackberry, dark fruits, cedar, licorice, leather, sweet tobacco/ cigar box . This complexity has a resounding finish filled with peppery spices! Unique old vine fruit intensity gives a memorable wine tasting experience! Prefer to drink it as an aperitif on a cold day, because of its richness, but would be excellent with roast leg of lamb!🍇🍷🌹

Bright on nose, smooth but a little too mellow on the tongue. Definitely improved the longer it breathed.

These guys consistently make wines better than they need to be for what you're paying. An excellent $12 blend: sweet, dark berry nose with a metallic or alkaline note. Almost too smooth on the palate - could use structure. Not much tannin. Satisfying. Points for cost/benefit ratio.

Really liked this red blend. It's balanced with a very smooth, clean finish. And for $8 at Costco an excellent deal.
