Really liked the first bottle I had. Did not taste the Dutch dropje but will try to taste for it next bottle. On the buy again list at the moment.

Talk about a good everyday drinking wine. It is fresh, smooth, and fruity. Nothing about this great valued wine will make a person put his wine glass down. It is great for parties in that it will go with appetizers, meats, fishes, and even chocolate. I like this wine.

Nice enough nose and colour. Simple crisp starting smooth and ending sour surprisingly fun

Translucent cherry colour. Lighter bodied and smooth. Starts out fruity on the palate then a tug of war between sweet and salty ensues. It's like sucking on a cherry cough drop and a Dutch dropje (black licorice candy) at the same time. A bit dusty and some bitterness and alcohol on the short to medium length finish. Wouldn't offend as a party red, but nothing revolutionary.

This deep purply red wine smells of berry jam, vanilla and spice. This lip-smacking Californian blend is super juicy and reminiscent of a zinfandel. Very low tannins and flavours of plum, ripe cherry, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla and sweet spice, with a medium-long finish. Nothing overly complex here, just easy drinking.

Sous un format de 750 ml, on a un liquide boisé, vanillé et sucré à l’excès, qui a su faire l’unanimité autour de la table. Le Cliff 79 Cabernet/Shiraz qui le suivait passait pour un modèle de retenue et de délicatesse, c’est pour dire… Si c’est pour ça la campagne de ramener les vins à moins de 10$ sur les tablettes de la SAQ, je suis plutôt d’avis que la SAQ devrait chercher à étoffer sa catégorie autour de 15$ plutôt que de sacrifier à ce point…
