Peachy Canyon Cirque du Vin

Way past is prime. I used it in black bean soup and had a glass two days later. Ready ti dump!

Dark black color, very inexpensive at around $10, and a broad blend of the 5 grape varietals of Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, with no predominant varietal. Prune is the strongest smell. The sip is dense, with some firm tannin and decent acidity, but overall, a somewhat jammy taste.

simple but delicious wine, a crowd pleaser

We always enjoy this as a reasonably priced easy to pair house wine.

Dark aromas of blackberry and blueberry with a little bit of spice. Deep flavors of more dark berries with a black pepper spice. Well balanced between fruit and acidity. ($17)

After initially being put off by the cartoonish label, I convinced myself to give the Cirque du Vin Paso Robles 2006 a shot due to its 88 rating from International Wine Cellar and reasonable price @ $9.99. What I ended up with was a cloyingly-sweet, syrupy, fruit-bomb of a wine. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. The blend itself seemed odd and off balance. The bold characters of the Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah varietals in the blend …

Very enjoyable every day wine, as always seems to gain points as a blended wine.

Simple cali cab, one dimensional.

A great red quaffer at $10 from the PA LCB.

Solid bottle of wine for the price point.
