Blackberries with a secondary taste of strawberries on top of vanilla and oak. Medium bodied, clean mouth feel, SMOOTH, medium finish to end. Great value in a Cali Zin for $25 CAD.

Medium ruby in color; cherries, baking spices, and blackberry jam on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, strawberry jam, crushed gravel, and a hint of dried herbs with a long finish. Nellie says it's not bad, but I think it's pretty good.

I’m surprised by the great reviews of this. It’s excessively acidic and not much ch depth.

Juicy and the right amount of acid for me to keep me engaged. Cherries and plums are the prominent combo I’m getting here.

Fruit forward aromas; very spicy on the tongue, balancing the fruit forward blackberry and plum notes. Happy Father's Day. Sharing the #fuckcancerwine wine.

Warm subtle oaky aromas of vanilla, overripe/jammy raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavors, a good amount of acid balanced by the round, luscious body and smooth but spicy tannins. So balanced and delicious. Just the wine I need right now. #fuckcancer
