No added sulfites it says. So it also says it’s, ‘Organic Wine’ and ‘Vegan’. Label art looks kinda French. Fun French…

Color is dark and pretty. Deep magenta. Smells like ripe forest berries and summer/early fall winds from the hills. (I mean rocks and dust with a some bushes and oak trees). Flavors are unique. Creamy? A hint of unsweetened, whipped heavy cream. With blueberries in it. Cooked blueberries. Also a bit of hibiscus tea on the finish. This is excellent for ‘natural’ un-sulfured red. Even has a zingy vibrancy 4 years on. This is pretty classic southern France G and S (Grenache and Syrah). Nice work Vinters Alliance for finding it and bringing it to the USA. Glad it ended up at Grocery Outlet for $6-7! — 4 days ago

Weird labeling/marketing angle. Low Cal, Low Carb, No Gluten lol. Color is lighter for a Cab. Smells fruit forward. Bit syrupy with a hint of cut wood. The flavor in the glass is straight CA cheap Cab. Translation fruit punch meets vanilla and caramel. Bit of tannin, but this isn’t a wine I’d like to drink again. I mixed it with another wine that had more acid and complexity so that it tasted better . — 12 days ago

Kinda fancy and cheesy label. Golden color. Citrus nose. With a hint of tropical (pineapple and lychee) fruits. Flavors are balanced and enjoyable stuff. Similar to southern French stuff. Tasty. — 16 days ago

Fancy bottle. Big sized and adorned with stuff. Color of blood outside the body. Smells decent. Like a blackberry and cherry Danish. Flavors are good. Fairly straightforward Spanish flavors, but those rock. A bit simple & easy though. The bottle is a bit overkill for what you get for less than $10. — 5 days ago

Dark color. Not quite India ink, but deep maroon. Smells like blueberry pudding and heavy cream. Hint of fresh chopped redwood bark. Flavors are dense with a classic petite Sirah inky-ness with blueberry syrup and purple plum compote. This is a big delicious red. Drink with red meats, grilled. Or hard, salty cheeses. — 8 days ago

Aged Zin. Smells like plum stews and wet rocks. Flavors are warm and classic Zin jammy. Still pretty robust and hasn’t lost a step in flavor. Dense. Has a licorice streak in the finish. This is still tasty, fun Zin. No idea where I got it. It just hid out on the rack. — 16 days ago

Crazy theme for the name and label story. Easy open screw-top. Lovely lighter rusty, ruby color. Smells like a classic Chianti. Juices from the berry, plums and red cherries. Flavors are good example of the Sang too. Chewy. A bit lighter than some CA Sangioveses, but this is good food vino. — 5 days ago

Arty label. Classic foothill red blend. Fruit with olive notes. Flavors are balanced with plenty of woodsy stuff. Full, fun and delicious. This is good stuff. — 8 days ago

Very cool bottle design. Long neck with a molded glass bottle. Dark color in the glass. Smells of rosehip and stewed plums. Flavors are dry and tannic. Tastes like not very sweet berries streaked with a woodsy, stem-y element. Think this must be the style of true Cab Franc. — 14 days ago

This has Sonoma and Monterey county grapes to go with the Santa in it. Classy label with a Celtic knot on it. Light, bright ruby red color. Smells like Pinot Noir. Hints of redwood bark meets red berries and wet rocks. Flavors are well balanced and complex. Bit fruit driven, but there is a bittersweet side here too. The blend of three locales worked out pretty well, and they didn’t just write ‘California’ which is nice. — 20 days ago
