The leader of the pack. No wonder it's the No.1 selling California wine in BC, it was the first of a strong trend of sweeter red blends, laden with supple texture, gobs of fruit and chocolate.
This gothic labeled California red blend includes Zinfandel, Syrah and Merlot.
It is what you would expect, a plush fruit-forward red with chocolate covered cherries and berries (blueberry, raspberry), cola spices, sweet coffee, licorice and vanilla. It is straightforward, supple, sweet and spicy - entirely quaffable with burgers, chili, spicy ribs or pan pizza.

The somewhat gothic labeled California red blend includes Zinfandel, Syrah and Merlot.
It is what you would expect, a plush fruit-forward red with chocolate and berries, molasses and plum cake, baking spices and vanilla. It is supple with loads of cherry, berry and milk chocolate flavours underscored by spice and vanilla. Smooth, lush - a straightforward crowd pleaser.
A perfect game day wine with grilled foods, burgers, chili, spicy ribs or pan pizza.

An attractive, and somewhat gothic label tells you that this wine is a blend of Zinfandel, Syrah and Merlot.
It is what you would expect, a fruit-bomb style red with aromas of sweet plums, purple berries, vanilla and chocolate with hints of pipe tobacco. It is supple and sweet in the mouth with flavours of vanilla, ripe berries and mocha. Approachable and very consumer friendly.
