Perfect social wine for everyone except for my father who is a wine snob. Light and sweet enough for the non-regular red wine drinkers but rich enough for those who want a medium-bodied red that doesn't have a specific pairing and can be consumed by itself. From the first inhale of the delicious scent to the buttery finish, I am a fan.

Simply put, this is my everyday red drinking wine. I drink it often as iced tea or coffee. This goes well for groups of people that just like wine but aren't an enthusiast as myself. Great in the nose, medium bodied, silky, currant, berries, slightly dry, medium finish. Get a case!

This is a great wine to sip on while watching a movie and relaxing on the couch. Too sweet for many meal pairings.

Bright and very sweet, this is a drinkable wine for those who don’t mind a red that lacks that common dry bite. An acquired taste if bouquets of honey and fruit are easily deemed overwhelming.

Sweet and fruity. Doesn't pair well with all food. Sort of bright tasting.

It's a bold red with layers of dark fruit hints of mocha and vanilla with a long smooth finish. It just wasn't for me a little more on the bitter/tart side you could definitely taste the strong mocha in it.
