Beautiful nose with red fruits. Very sweet to the taste (for a red) with a hint of dried berries. Still good to drink in 2016!

A little sweeter than I would like. Maybe a past it best. OK wine, but not one of my favourites.

Harsh nose, and while the front is decent, the lingering aftertaste kills all pleasantries.

Decent and very drinkable, but nothing special. Light red that is almost generic in taste; not bad, but not great. Buy again: Probably for an inexpensive red that most people would like.

Well, I just don't like this wine at all. The initial nose got me excited that the terms on the back label were going to be part of my wine experience, berries mocha etc. But when this crosses your palate nothing shows up. No point in describing further.

Very solid pinot particularly for the price. It's on the bigger side, but had a nice level of complexity.

An odd wine, aptly named. Soft and smooth, velvety. Caramel and vanilla dominate the nose with some faint fruit and smoke in the background. There is a sweet chocolatey finish in the mouth that was an unpleasant surprise. This is not a food wine. We had it with some beef and it was a clash although I tried it with some chocolate afterwards and it paired OK.

Blind Tasting of Red Blends (Our House) : Aromas and flavors of red fruits, tart cherries, licorice, and funk. Smooth, medium-bodied, with a medium finish.

Pleasantly surprised by this value wine. Rich fruit in the front and agree with WINEPT on the short finish. Nose was mostly muted. For 9 bucks a good buy.

Lots of fruit along with chocolate/mocha flavors. Similar to Apothic Red, but different. It's the sort of wine that you'll probably love or hate. It would be a good dessert wine, and probably would pair well with a rich chocolate dessert.
