Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 80% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 3% Merlot, 2% Malbec & 1% Petit Verdot. Who IS that dude on the label? That’s Eddie, whose image represents their unusual collection of wines. Dark Ruby with a spicy oaky character. On the palate sweet jammy berry fruit flavors with cinnamon spice and toasty oak tones. Tight tannins, medium ending with a sweet edge, almost too sweet.

15% alc?!?!
Wooooo!!!
Very smooth and easy to drink; dangerous. A little too oaky at first but opens up nicely as it--well, opens up...😂🍷

One of our go-to table reds. Jammy dark fruits upfront, dry peppery finish. Not life changing, but inexpensive and satisfying when you need something for home or a dinner party

Full bodied. Dark berries and tobacco notes. Complex and well balanced.

Really good for a “grocery store “ wine - not overdone and well-balanced with a good finish

Luscious; with hints of dark chocolate and berries. Far more elegant than the label implies.
