Good People. Great Wine.
A nose of fennel, mocha and plum, followed by a burst of earthy smoked meat, blackberry and cherry flavors, give this wine a masculine edge. Not overly complex but certainly enticing, the wine is both rich and sensible, and will pair well with BBQ, lamb and spiced meat dishes. 1 Note

Mouthwatering apple and a lively acidity make this a Chardonnay that will appeal to vinophiles who like a crisper white wine. But for the tartness and clean edge there’s a weight and creaminess on the palate that rounds this wine out. A good, accessible Chardonnay at a very good price, it could become a favorite weekday wine. 1 Note

86 points by Wine Advocate, this Cabernet was a surprise. I picked it up for a party because it was $10 (and I don't like to waste my great wine on people that won't appreciate it); however, it was very nice, smooth, full of black current, blackberry, and lots of plum. Tannins were silky and the finish was nice. This is the perfect alternative party wine rather than the typical Kendall Jackson and the like. 1 Note
