This is a really great wine if you like a bold wine. Great legs, great aroma, just loved it. A friend tried it also and thought it was one of the 2 best table wines he has ever had and ordered a case for himself. I ordered another 6 bottles. Love it!

Comments about The Sum 2007 California Red, Seventy-Five Wine Company:

Iwas very excited to try this wine. I figured it would be a good table wine that would go well with many types of occasions and foods. Poured glass for myself had it sit, tried again, then handed a glass to my wife in the other room whose first reaction was "this has no taste and is bitter". "How many bottles did you get"? Enough said

Comments about The Sum 2007 California Red, Seventy-Five Wine Company:

Like the wine. Big body, big flavor, slightly rough in the middle but think will age well and smooth out. Hopefully finish will develop further too. Syrah and petit syrah really coming through

Comments about The Sum 2007 California Red, Seventy-Five Wine Company:

I gave several of my bottles away as parting gifts and the feedback was tremendous. Where did you get this wine and you only paid that much for a case wine were some of the comments I received. Tuck hit it out the park with this one. I enjoy so much. I purchase another case. Thank You Tuck Beckstoffer for this wonderful product.
