winemaker's notes:

Color: Dark and deep red.

Bouquet: Flavors as black as night: dark cherries, dark berries and a lasting smoky, yet rich, black tar.

Taste: Complexity develops out of its firm, quiet, supple core.

The wine marries well with a variety of steaks, roasts, pastas with medium to hearty sauces, and cheeses.

  Take the Bull by the Horns! - 11/22/2009
I would buy this wine again
I brought this wine to a friend's for dinner. We were having a nice London Broil and this wine was a perfect pairing. It is smooth, yet has an explosive bouquet. It goes down quite easily... just a yummy wine for such a low price. Try it!

I would buy this wine again
Whether it's the aroma, the viscosity, the mouthfeel, the finish whatever I just think this is one of my favorite wines. I like it better than their Cabs. I have found no other wine in it's price catagory that satisfies me as much.

Cinnamon, mineral, blackberry and plum. Complex with a great finish. Outstanding value compared to that thing they call merlot in california.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
