Red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Sirah, and Malbec. Chocolate and blackberry with a tiny bit too much caramel oak.

I received this as a gift. I opened it on 12/29/16. I was very pleased. It was a very simple wine and a good choice for a weeknight.

This vintage has aged well. Much better in 2016.

Little funky on the nose in a non wine-flaw way. Tastes a bit watered down. For the price, it is a solid weekday red blend.
