Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Nose of cherries, plums, blueberries, nail polish removal, vinaigrette, wood, licorice, spices, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, vegetables and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate and fruity with strawberries, blueberries, plums, currants, oak, herbs, chocolates, vanilla, spices, earth, peppercorn, tobacco and cloves.
Medium finish with medium (-) tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a nice Red blend from California. Showing mild complexity, nice balance and an enjoyable mouthfeel.
Good for parties, or as a sipping wine by the porch. Needs 30 minutes to open up properly.
I paired it with a cheese plate.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

I guessed Petite Sirah, Zin, and Merlot. I was surprisingly close. It is a Syrah, Zin, PS, and cab blend. Not bad, but not very interesting. Would buy if it was on sale.

The BEST table wine out there for years- classic red wine red, sweet aromas of chocolate covered cherries, rhubarb and cedar. Always a great standby.

Awesome value! This give Mondavi Private Selection a run for the money. It's bold, pairs with virtually anything, and is a fantastic value. Great every day wine (because yes, I drink wine almost every day).

Transparent amethyst color in the glass. Purple fruit on the nose. Medium body and acidity. Juicy purple fruit and oaky vanilla on the palate. Minimum tannins. Nothing spectacular, but not intended to be. Still, shoulda ponied up the extra three bucks for the Chianti Classico Riserva.
