This wine is medium dark in color and has dark notes on the nose - plums, blueberries, cassis. The oak aspect of the aromas is not overpowering, but it is definitely there. The palate tastes somewhat sweet, with fruit and oak spice showing right up front. A savory angle comes in later - forest floor and minerals, mostly. The tannins are workable, but not overbearing. This wine won’t make Napa vintners run scared, but it is a pleasant bottling and a pretty good everyday wine.

On a clearance end cap for $10, thank you to my bother for the find! Extracted but yummy, drinking nicely! Dark berries, oak, cassis, damp earth and cherry Lifesavers. Medium body, mild tannins.

2017 vintage. Agree with Jeff Miller – it tastes light, but pretty good.

Surprisingly good for the very low price. This wine has wonderful somewhat floral flavor. Along with raspberries and other dried fruit. There’s a nice nose and decent tannins. This is definitely going on the midweek drinkers list. It was fun sharing it with friends at the combine birthday party for our friends, Agnes and Richard. #federalist #lodi #lodiwine

Medium ruby in color; black cherries and raspberries on the nose with a hint of plum and maybe graphite; medium acidity; bold but smooth tannins; tastes like plums, blackberries, and black cherries with a long peppery finish. Nellie likes it!
