Light airy pleasant mix. Very enjoyable sipping wine. Tried at my brother & sister inlaws house.

California Red Blend. You can smell berries as you are pouring this wine into your glass. Velvety finish. Good but a little to light for me

Juice like. Unimpressed but subtle for those that need a light red

Fruity and bold with a touch of toasty spice on the finish. Very drinkable wine.

Smell of sour cherry and raspberries. Taste of sour cherries and some sweetness. Pretty decently balanced and sweet smooth finish.

Velvet smooth on the palate. I can taste the chocolate. Maybe semi-dry. I would buy again.
