Quaffer, tangy, sweet.
Aromas of strawberry jellies, raspberry cordial, violets and vanilla dominate this brilliant ruby quaffer. The palate is tangy; red berries and blood oranges fine spice and cedar chip flavours are lifted by a kiss of sweetness and it culminates in a lively and zesty finish.

Vivace, delicate, lively.
A buy-by-the-case mainstay, the vivace prickle of loose bubbles in this wine add extra appeal. Delicate, floral notes are layered with white peaches, lemon verbena and precise mineral notes. The palate is off-dry and jubilant with a lively finish. It's a simple white, but the ease of quaffing and low alcohol make it a perfect afternoon sipper.

Crowd-pleaser, sweet, exuberant.
Candor refers to the noun, to be frank or honest and that is what the producers of this wine say they strive for.
It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from an exuberant Lodi Zin; spiced briary berries, chocolate covered cherries, espresso, salted licorice and molasses. It has a supple and sweet fruity palate and plush weight. Full-bodied and generous it weighs in at 14.5% alcohol.
It's s definitive crowd-pleaser that is ended with 11% Merlot, and aged in French and American oak; the grapes come from five AVAs and it offers no vintage.
