California, United StatesOne of the reasons to produce a non vintage wine is to maintain consistency over time, and that approach makes complete sense for this wine. It also explains why this iteration is similar to what I last tasted. It shows jammy, liqueured black fruits and smoky oak that’s targeted for the big red crowd. Some sweetness softens the tannins, which is a boon if you're looking for a red to open tonight.Tasted: 27 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:

California, United StatesOne of the reasons to produce a non-vintage wine is to maintain consistency over time, and that approach makes complete sense for this wine. It’s decidedly style-driven, with jammy, liqueured black fruits and smoky oak that’s targeted for the big red crowd. However, the palate is not quite as rich as you’d expect, with a healthy pinch of residual sugar (9 g/L) helping to soften the rough tannins. Overall, it hits its mark but without delivering exceptional value.Tasted: 03 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:

California, United StatesThe Wagner family has given us a throwback wine to another era. Big, rich, soft and smoky, this non-vintage cabernet is all about drinkability and hedonism. Nothing is chiselled here; the tannins are soft, the oak is full-flavoured, and the cabernet ripe with sweet blueberry and blackberry that finishes in a vanilla and chocolate bath. More of a drink than a glass of wine, it will have broad appeal to specific sectors of the market that want something to sip before and after dinner.Tasted: 18 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:
