Winery review: Good Delicious everyday wine - As reviewed by Food & Wine - 2009 Wine Guide on 2009. Like the wardrobe staple this line of wines extols, this fruity, everyday red is basic, straightforward and simple. Notes of cherry dominate at first, then settle with both spice and oak on the finish.

 

My review: This was a spicy wine, that I imagine would be great paired with dinner.  It was dark and had a very strong flavor.  There wasn't much burn from the alcohol, which is surprising considering it's not that expensive.  This is definitely a wine that I would like to have again.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
