From Trinchero Family Estates, a blend of 60% Cab Sauv and 40% Merlot, dark Ruby with bold dark fruit and floral spice aromas. On the palate, ripe fruits, blackberry and cherry with espresso, cinnamon and tar notes. Dusty tannins, some oak with earthy tones on a medium plus finish. Nice offering, but I think ‘12 was a bit better! The Merlot makes it good to drink now, but let this develop a bit.

Pretty average wine. Not bad but not hitting all the right notes. A little flabby and didn’t have enough backbone to hold it all up and together.

Definitely let it breathe, pepper and dark berry, not as smooth as I would like

May be a bordeaux blend but you won’t mistake this for a bordeaux. Lots of dark chocolate and clay, but very, very fruit forward showing berry, plum, and currant. A fruit bomb that doesn’t hold back. Got for $22 at Costco. Even at that price it seems overpriced to me.

Enjoying the 2014 vintage. Very smooth and enjoyable. Little spice on the finish. Would definitely drink again!
