"Supple and spicy, with a plush-textured, dark-hued, blackberry-rich mouthful lingering against creamy oak notes on the long and polished finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah."

"This is an exotic wine with aromas of graham cracker, blueberry, violet petal, and pastry. It feels lush, grabby, chewy, and slightly tannic with heavy flavors of clove, black licorice, savory berry, and baked plum. The finish is dominated by oak, with clove and resiny barrel notes that compete with the wine’s fresher dark fruit component."

"A medium-bodied wine with a whole lot of personality, Carlo Rossi Sangria is distinguished by its bright fruit flavors and subtle hint of spritz. Citrusy notes of orange, lemon and grapefruit are especially refreshing."

"An inviting combination of floral notes and vibrant fruit flavors, our Sweet Indulgence Moscato hails from the country that understands the good life and indulgence – Italy. The palate offers moderate acidity, flavors of stone fruits and lime zest alongside blossom notes. It’s a light-bodied yet lush pour – a hint of substance comes courtesy of Sicilian sunshine – that wraps up with a hint of sweetness and lots of fruit-forward personality. Decadent notes of peach, apricot, orange blossom and rose petal shine through in this refreshing white wine."

"The 2010 Cotes du Rhone Reserve is outstanding. Dense purple, with notes of roasted meats, black raspberries, blackberries, licorice and lavender, this wine is just terrific. Medium to full-bodied, rich and certainly far deeper and more concentrated than one has any reason to expect from a wine that sells for $15 (the taste is more like one for $35 to $50), this is a winner that will drink well for 4-5 years."

"The 2010 Merlot reveals aromas and flavors of ripe cherries and blackberries with notes of spice. Sweet fruit on the palate is complemented by toasty oak and soft tannins."

"Straw-colored, semi-dry white wine with a crisp, light taste."

"Bursting with berry flavor, our Red Blend is all mocha, fresh-picked raspberry and black cherry goodness. Hailing from northeastern Spain's dynamic Catalunya region, our Berry Smooth Red Wine blends Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a juicy, unoaked compilation that's as enchanting as it is flavorful. A long maceration captures the pinnacle of flavor from the grapes, translating to intense aromas and flavors of freshly picked raspberry and black cherry alongside a hint of forest floor. Mocha-spiked cream and spice on the finish keep this medium-bodied red richly fun. Warm and smooth, it's a delectable blend."
