Our Red Wine Blend reflects an artist’s palette of various varietals that each contributes a unique flavor component to the finished blend. Aged in French/American Oak barrels up to 16 months. Ripe rich Zinfandel was used to provide spice and intense fruit. Petite Sirah grapes were added for a bold luscious flavor. Finished with some Cabernet for some dark crimson color.
Artfully Blended with Iconic California Varietals. Aromas of Wild Berries and Toasted Oak with Intense Black Fruit Flavors accented with Spicy, Smoky Notes. Richly Textured, Full Bodied and Powerful.
Tough enough for any BBQ. Yet fefined enough for Filet Mignon.
The 2012 vintage of Red wine varietals experienced some outstanding growing conditions. This Harvest yielded generous amounts of high quality fruit. Moderate weather throughout the growing season has put little pressure on the vines, and provided grapes with well-balanced chemistries.

@ilCesare Interesting price difference between this and the offer last August. I have to keep reminding myself that the w.w price includes shipping, and the Casemate price doesn’t.
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?

BLUF: Bold, great aroma upon opening, smooths out a little with some breathing, excellent house red wine. In for a case.
I’m not much of a writer or reviewer, so I’ll make this brief.
Received the wine last week, and immediately recognizing it for what it was (lab rat), decided to go ahead and do my tasting that night.
I’ve had this wine before, purchased from Woot, and I had recalled that we enjoyed it. Upon opening I took a long sniff, just to jog my memory, and there it was - that strong “red” smell of maybe smoky berries, and my first sip confirmed, that, yes, indeed, I had enjoyed this before.
It would pair well with beef, but that evening I had pasta with pesto sauce. Still a decent pairing, as I thought that the fruity / spicy taste offset the pesto well.
Finished the second glass with dessert - dark chocolate covered pretzels. This was definitely a winner, as the wine had smoothed out a bit, and the juicy, fruity taste was definitely well paired with the dark chocolate.
This is a great “house red” wine - awesome price, buy it and drink it with a steak!
Bear with me, this is my first Lab Rat Report. Apologies it is so late. The box arrived with no paperwork and I assumed it was either birthday wine (Taurus here - Two Horns, the bull…honest mistake, right?) or my consolation launch party shirts substitute. I never received the Lab Rat email. Good thing I checked with Support! So exciting, thanks for this opportunity.
Anyway - the wine. Plastic cork. I poured a glass and took my first sip 30 minutes later. Color is deep garnet, fairly opaque, with surprisingly little (actually no) legs.
Smells of oak, maybe cedar, berry, and a bit musty.
Taste is fruit forward with cherries and leather. Tannic bite on the back of my tongue, and a tart finish. I had more with dinner (spicy Mexican) and the wine held up well. It also smoothed out quite a bit with more time. Best pairing was with a Panera Kitchen Sink cookie for dessert.
Summary: This wine is just okay, and better consumed with food.
Ahhh. the delightful feeling of knowing that May just started, and I’ve now completely amortized my Kickstarter VMP membership.

@lethcoeb That’s good enough for me
In for 6 - first casemates order at long last!
@lethcoeb mmm. very nice review. I am excited to eventually receive my first lab rat shipment.

The reviews on wine.woot was good. Someone said there it is Scott Harvey style which is enough for me. In for 6, or a case if my BIL wants to split.

@DebRVA Thanks for the rat.
Oooh, green grass. Not so much in SoCal with water rates the way they are here.
Sorry about the double photo. I tried to correct the rotation but obviously failed. It isn’t rotated when I view the file on my computer.
Well, that happened.

Bought this at w.w, enjoyed it then, sure I’ll enjoy it again.

First casemates purchase. Nashville TN area. Hoping it is as good as Arrington Vineyards Antebellum.
Really enjoyed this and would definitely buy again. Meanwhile, I’m rationing the 4 I have left out of my split case.
