Your Red Wine Style is Full-Bodied & Fruit-Forward
You love full-bodied and fruity wines because of their bold, sumptuous fruit flavors and unctuous mouthfeel. The fruit profile in these wines is ripe, baked and jammy, with a rich and opulent structure that makes them the perfect match for grilled or roasted meat. If you are a fan of full and fruity wines, you’ll find yourself sipping varietal wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Zinfandel from regions like California, Washington, Australia and South America.

Bold, black fruits dominate the aromas and flavors in this full-bodied wine from the warm vineyards of Paso Robles. Rich, ripe fruits like blackberry and plum are backed by a fine tannin structure. Baking spices and well-integrated oak add layers and texture.

Full of concentrated red and purple fruits, like cherry and plum, this luscious wine has a spicy backbone as well. Soft tannins and a dark chocolate undertone support the supple generous mouthfeel of this incredible value wine.

Sipping this wine is like tasting a ripe, rich fruit compote, full of raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry and cherry. Layers of fruit mingle with hints of mint, lavender, chocolate and spice. Soft and round tannins are well-integrated into this decadent wine. It is all too-easy sipping!
