    We shared it with friends and everyone's first words were: "Smoothe, very smoothe"! Very soft tannins. No need to eat anything with this wine, it's a treat all on it's own.

    I really enjoyed the spicy note to this one, and the fact that it was relatively light for a red.

    Some aftertaste, flavor not too developed, decent wine with food, better in cooking than drinking casually, not a huge improvement over store bought wine and not worth it.

    Wine was clean with a crisp finish, strong grapefruit/citrus undertones. Nice with seafood or chicken

    As mentioned in my original membership questionaire, I prefer red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. I also prefer California wines.

    I didn't care for the taste at all. My husband did, however and felt it deserved a "4".

    Easy, pleasant to drink red, reminded me of good times and family, growing up in the Bay Area among many Italians. Very good with food or just by itself.

    did not like it. Have sent you a previous e-mail asking for a refund or replacement. Too much sediment and broken dried up cork. Not a good wine. Mary Arnold

    My daughter and I agreed this wine barely deserves a 70 rating. It may be okay for some cooking, but not for drinking.
