Good utilitarian food choice. Starts like a fruity cab blend with the Zin spicy notes emerging just before the pleasant finish. Good choice for multiple types of meats at a diner out.

Deep Ruby color, fruit currants mid to late crisp finish. Nice with and without food. Good value.

A pretty delicious selection full of rich fruits and baking spices. Suave, elegant, and easy-going with enough depth to savor and sip.
