Nothing at all wrong with this, particularly with a price tag under $20. Good wine when your significant other isn't going to help you and you don't feel like opening something fancy. Typical California syrah notes: dark purple, full body, peppery nose, a little bit of smoky oak on the palate.

Ruby-red. Nose of dark berries, mocha, spices, brown sugar and light coffee. Wonderfully harmonious.
