13.5% abv. Cabernet Sauvignon: 52%; Merlot: 44%; Syrah: 4%. Originally paid $14.99 plus tax. Dark purple color; opaque. Sediment on one side of bottle. (Label says that harmless tartrates may be present.) A pleasant red blend that has held up well over the years. It strikes me as expressing red fruits rather than black fruits --not very tannic but with some evidence of earthiness. Can work where a Merlot would suit. This paired well with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
