After a beautiful day at the beach it’s nice to have a really good wine to finish off the day. Dark purple in color with tastes of blackberry and smoke. A little bit acidic but goes down very nice.

L’ho trovato al supermercato in Sedona. L’ho aspetto piu perche e’ da Washington. Ma e’ troppo dolce, e manca iquibilibrato. Sarebbe buono piu di Charles Smith.

This was actually Quito’s. Fruity, not too sweet for a blend, dark with berries and plums! Would buy again
