Predictable Michael-David fruit bomb, fully extracted wine, very full-bodied. Best paired with spicy, grilled full-bodied food: BBQ, spicy Mexican food, pizza, etc. You may not like the style, but given the style, they do a consistently good job with what they are setting out to do year-to-year. Have found on sale $13.99, but may be more at your wine store. Drink now, pop and pour, might last into 2018.

Fully-extracted and very full-bodied. This is the wine you want to serve with smoked BBQ or spicy Mexican food, this is the wine that WILL stand up to it. Not as good as some prior vintages, but it is what it is, a mouth full of cherry and dark fruit done reasonably well. This wine has its place as I have described, above. DRINK NOW. No aging potential. For the price (I have seen as cheap as $13.99 on sale), not a bad little deal if the style meets your needs.

Bouquet of white flowers is inviting. Greets with a surprisingly intense concoction of cherry, dark berries, and baking spices. Onctuous and jammy, this wine seems overdone. There is no aging potential, so drink now.

Savory, herbal notes over strong fruit. Very enjoyable.
