The Dreaming Tree’s Crush Red Blend is a pleasant surprise, from first sip to last.

At $15 a bottle, it’s a vibrant, full bodied blend that really delivers. Composed of 54% Merlot, 20% Zinfandel, 18% Petite Sirah, and a small amounts of some others, this wine blends grapes and regions beautifully, combining fruit from both Napa and Sonoma.

In addition to it’s bright, vibrant purple color it’s also extremely well balanced balanced.

This was one of the rare times that Lynne’s glass was empty before Chad’s…

Chad's Notes

This wine was great. Velvety smooth fruit flavors, with a nice but not overwhelming sweetness. Hints of raspberry both in both the taste and the aroma.

Combine that with a very slight dryness and a bold, lingering finish and have an incredibly enjoyable wine, especially at such a low price.

I can't wait to pick up another bottle. My only complaint is how quickly it was gone.

Lynne's Notes

Wow, what a fantastic and very affordable wine. This full-bodied blend had a great fruit flavor without being too sweet. There was some noticeable raspberry flavor and it had a slightly dry, yet well-balanced finish.

And while I rarely finish my glass before Chad, I have to admit that I did polish this wine off fairly quickly as it was so delicious! I really enjoyed this wine and we will definitely get it again - and again, I'm sure 😉
