Red Blend, Central Valley, $16
Cabernet, Malbec, Carmenère and Syrah together are well integrated and very tasty; blueberry, blackberry, sloe berry and vanilla float across the palate with ease. This full-bodied red blend has a long finish with notes of chocolate and burnished wood.

god, the nose is brutal. It smells like moldy barrels. I almost didn't want to taste it based on the smell. I powered through, however, and was very VERY pleasantly surprised. The wine itself (getting it past your nose) had very smooth tanins and was quite supple and well-balanced.
I like to drink it...still hate to smell it.
