Impressed by their reds, including their Zins, which are well-balanced. This is their most hedonistic red, and it drinks above their price point.

Not as good as I was expecting for the price. This wine has plenty of blackcurrant and dark plum flavor with a medium body. A pleasant enough Bordeaux blend, but not a favorite.

Bold enough to age for a while, wow! Some funkiness, like tree bark...but not in a bad way...alluring more like. Dark fruit, big tannins, nice acidity rounds out the blueberry qualities. Super interesting & different. Cab, Merlot, Malbec, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot.

Definetly get dark berries etc, however a little lighter body than I would have expected, very well balanced.

Very well balanced. Excellent without food, but stood up to braised short ribs and really savory dishes very well.
