Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Easy drinking and good for parties.
Good by itself or with food and good right out of the bottle.

Unusual representation for a Lodi wine. Lighter bodied, nice minerals, acidity, and fruit! Showing plum, boysenberry, licorice Snaps, hibiscus, milk chocolate, eucalyptus on the midpalate, and pine needles on the finish. This wine reminds me of a Lorie Valley Chinon. A lot going on in this glass, considering...rating reflects QPR; this was under $10! One hour+ decant.

👌👌 Surprisingly good for a cheap wine. Opened for cooking and ended up drinking it. Young wine. Little harsh. Not incredible, but I was pleasantly surprised how it shaped up after letting it breathe.

Better than our other Costco value attempts. Not stellar, but better than its price!
