Juicy blueberry and raspberry flavors make this a lean, simple red to drink this summer, whether as an aperitif or with a burger. (1,981 cases)
Score: 4 stars | June 1, 2013 | Restaurant Wine
Supple and ripely flavored, this is a fairly rich Merlot, with evident oak character and a long finish. It tastes of blackberry, cassis, toast, and spicy oak. Excellent value.

This is an elegant and supple red, exhibiting aromas of black raspberry and spice that follow through to ripe, layered cherry and toasty caramel flavors. Drink now through 2017.
