I'm a big fan of Cole Ranch fruit ... this one does not disappoint. Has the bright fruit and baseline complexity of a lot of the more sophisticated Esterlina vintages from this appellation, but at a fraction of the price. Gets my voite for a great daily drinker. And definitely a crowd pleaser at a party for the normal audience ...

Great everyday drinker. Nice nose of vivid red fruits--cherries and strawberries. The palate is full of fruits, but not sweet. The wine has a nice finish with a bit of pepper that shows up on the back end.

Enjoyable, and a good value. Catching up on notes, nothing to add on this one.

This wasn't as good as previous bottles, but still tasted fresh ... no brown tinges at all. Just wasn't as balanced as previous bottles.

Nice solid blend that still has good color, nose and taste. I'm not sure why they aren't making it any more ... it's good stuff!

This is tasting very well right now. Nice dark red fruit on the nose and palate, nice acidity and tannins with a medium finish.
