Loved it. It has the smooth, dark fruitiness of a Merlot with a clean dry finish of a cab or Malbec. A great blend of flavors I will be buying again for my Italian meals.

Great wine for the price. On the drier side.

Pretty good--especially for $8.99. 2012 vintage. Good drinking wine.

Wow! Impressed with this one... Wasn't too expensive but should be. Rich beautiful very full flavor with a light soft finish!

Another fine vintage of this ridiculously inexpensive Bordeaux style blend, this wine has the terroir of the Central Coast region but the expected dark cherry and chocolate flavors.

Excellent blend; well balanced and rich. Light but earthy nose; creamy and mildly spicy at the finish. Drank well with grilled meat. Maureen says, "rich and very yummy". Definitely would buy again.

The bottle is all gone for a reason...this is a nice wine. Really tasty. Rich, textured cherry, raspberry, vanilla & chocolate flavors. Paired with filet & roasted Brussel sprouts
