A decently enjoyable no complaints wine with a dark color, smooth texture, and good balance of fruit, acidity, and tannin. Like many affordable California Bordeaux blends, the overall taste is more on the cherry Merlot side. While drinkable any time, with 9 years of age the wine has gotten softer, less grapey, and more integrated.

We bought a lot of this 2006 vintage release at the time and enjoyed it as our every day drinking red wine. This is the last remaining bottle from that era and as such it was time to drink, showing its age and clearly being at the mature end of its drinking window. Still it was good tonight with pizza.
This is a high QPR - quality price ratio red wine blend of Bordeaux varietal grapes. Showing its age, the dark berry fruit is showing at over ripe with taste of raisins with hints of tobacco and leather as the fruit starts to subside. Still dark blackish purple, medium to full bodied with hints of oak, its time to drink up.
Nose?earthy dark cherry and blueberry with pepper. Drank this past its peak and it showed, but was still good. Well balanced with a smooth short finish.
