Nice red blend table wine, smooth- fruit forward, dark fruit with a bit of spice - good for an everyday wine

Ruby in color with a brick rim.

Fruity on the nose with cherries, blackberries, black currants, light vanilla, spices, wood, licorice, raspberry juice, Figs and white pepper.

Full bodied with high acidity and nice legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, cherries, cranberries, red currants, wood, licorice, vanilla and peppercorn. Tart cherries on the mid palate.

Medium finish with full, round tannins and spices.

Nice blend of Petite Sirah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Good everyday wine, but on its way out. This 6 year old is not going to last too long, so drink up. Not as fruity as it was a year ago.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

This is missing every note that I would expect...not in a good way. Seems poorly thought out. Sorry, I love wine and I will indeed drink this bottle, but with self-loathing

Some way better wines at the same price. Weak, thin, sharp and short but very cheap.

A very nice regular dinner wine. Very good flavor with a nice hint of tannins.

Very dry, high tannin, sharp at the end. Flavors of berry.
