  A crowd pleaser to be sure, but is simple, fruit forward, and lacks complexity. Would be good at a party or with pizza.

  Retail $20. This wine has yet to be released, but I have it on good authority that the blend is: 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Syrah, 18% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 2% each of Mourvèdre, Counoise, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot, 1% Nebbiolo. Fairly dark in the glass in both color and aromas with dark berry fruit (blackberry, blueberry), vanilla, and spice predominate on the nose. The palate is initially quite fruity, but a wave of acidity and spice roll in on the mid-palate to balance it out. A lovely, easily consumed wine with just the right balance between character and fun to keep just about everyone drinking. thedrunkencyclist.com
