Loaded with chocolate, mocha and espresso notes on the nose with sweet black cherry of this Californian red wine blend. Full-bodied, supple and smooth, and brought to us by Charlie Wagner and Caymus. Try it with Mexican mole. Very concentrated and intense with a long finish. Pair with a rare steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Paul Lupinacci rated this wine as 92/100
Produced by Charles F. Wagner, proprietor, a robust blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and other grapes. Very sweet and chocolatey. Belongs in the dessert wine category though technically not sweet. - Community Wine Review.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
