METTLER COPACETIC RED BLEND NV, Lodi

Opened this after dinner expecting just another red, but the bright cherry really pops against the warm spice finish. It's lively and balanced without being heavy, perfect for a casual weeknight pour.

Picked up a bottle for a casual dinner and the bright cherry fruit balanced with those baking spices really hit the spot. Went perfectly with a simple cheese plate. Already planning to grab another.

I opened a bottle with pasta last night, and those warm baking spices really came through alongside the cherry. The balance is spot-on—not too heavy, but still enough body to stand up to the meal.
