The dark cherry and blackberry notes really pop, plus that hint of white pepper gives it a nice kick. Opened a bottle with dinner last night and it paired perfectly with the steak.

Opened this with dinner guests last night and the vanilla and smoke notes were a hit. The mix of four grapes gives it a complexity you don't often find at this price point.

This blend is a great value — the dark cherry and blackberry hit right away, but that leather and white pepper finish keeps it interesting. It's complex enough to stand up to a steak dinner but smooth enough for a casual Tuesday. The sustainable certification was a nice bonus too.
