Natalie's Score: 85/100

Produced by the Californian winery Truett Hurst, this red wine offers straight-forward, full-bodied taste. Aromas of black fruit with a toasty, charred edge from lots of oak again. Comes in a bottle that looks like olive oil. Pair with hamburgers.

Reviews and Ratings

Ben rated this wine as 86/100
Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

This delightfully smooth and decadent red from winemaker Ginny Lambrix boasts flavors of ripe blueberries, vanilla oak, and blackberries. Wonderfully drinkable now, this wine is a blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and Merlot.
