The Wetzel family has been producing great wines for many years, and you can count this easy drinking budget friendly wine among them. It’s a cherry and spice bomb of flavor, with lively acidity make it a perfect foil for everyday fare — I’m thinking burgers and football. Contains 45% Merlot, 34% Zinfandel, 8% Grenache, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Syrah. A Platinum Award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
