This is a very nice red blend! Great find! Not too sweet. Has kind of a smoky flavor which are from the chocolate notes. The chocolate and caramel flavor a blend so well with the black cherry, raspberry and vanilla. Smooth texture.

Really like this one, especially for how cheap it is. Great go to weekday wine. I've had it before and I'd keep buying it

A dark cherry aroma greets you as this is poured slight acidic. Slight mocha, raspberry flavor. Very smooth and leaves a fresh flavor on your palate Salute!

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Lots of vegetables on the news with blueberries, plums, cherries, bell pepper, cucumber and eggplant. This is like smelling a garden salad, yet it has a rotten trash feel to it and it is not very appetizing.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, figs, oak, vanilla, green pepper, spices, cooked plums and black pepper.

Medium finish with full tannins.

This is a nice blend of Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel. Balanced, unique and interesting, though some of us did not like the nose so much that they wouldn't even try it, yet I did.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
