This is great cheap wine from Trader Joe’s, consistently drinkable release after release. It is a Paso Robles red blend, meant as a versatile table wine. It has a little cherry, a bit of blueberry, a taste of pepper spice.

"Delightful!" said Fox.
"Superb!" said Unicorn.
"Glorious!" said Dog.
To this, Judge Cat rose his glass and said, "All shall be free and great wine will be served!"

New vintage just out. Stellar as always. More fruit-forward than the 2012, but still sharp, balanced and interesting. Blackberry and roasted meat nicely complimented by pepper and coffee notes. The finish is short, but memorable. $10 at Trader Joes. Stock up if you can find.

Berry and meat and the pepper is beginning to show through. Originally bought a case in April 2014; have several bottles left and this is still going strong! Going to hold and see how they do. Big value. $10 at Trader Joes but it flies off the shelf when it comes out.

I can't get enough of this one. So smooth. Fun to drink and the nose is to die for.
