A very nice surprise on this Californian red blend. Rich mouthfeel and nice balance, with good complexity. Very enjoyable by itself, as a sipping wine.

Jan 22nd, 2022A bit sweet but not overly so. Definitely cherries. Great for when you're not feeling a really dry red.

Reminds me of Ménage a Trois- nice, easy drinking blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Merlot. My new go-to midweek wine for under $15.
