  December 3, 2008 - Nice light-medium bodied red blend. Winemaker doesn't actually call it a Rhone blend, but claims it was made in that tradition using 14 varietals. It's easy drinking and a bit thin, without much tartness or tannins. A good red to pair with lighter dishes if you're not in the mood for a white. I pulled it out to drink with pan seared pork chops with a sweet/tart apple cider glaze and post-Thanksgiving stuffing. The fruity (cherry) and slightly earthy/toasty flavors of the wine played nicely without overpowering the pork chop like a more full-bodied red would have. I enjoyed it and would buy it again in the $12 range.
