A blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 11% Syrah & 7% Malbec. Aromas of black fruits and spicy oak scents. On the palate raspberry and plum flavors with notes of tobacco and cacao adding in toasty vanilla oak. Medium+ finish, soft tannins ending with woody, earthy herb notes. Nice value.

Very solid red blend. Rice Cab like nose with plum and blackberries and very smooth and supple on the pallet. Not overly special in any particular way but it makes for a perfect crowd pleasing red.

Preparing beef bourguignon using two cups of this. Took a sip, of course. Nice dark berries. Will likely open up nicely.

Tar ripe cherries and sweet raspberry. A hint of smoke and vanilla. Well balanced, smooth and great tannin.
