What it tastes like

Ripe blackberry and plum with a blueberry edge, a dusting of vanilla, and a soft, round finish. The fruit reads a little sweet even though this drinks as a dry-ish red, and the tannins stay out of the way.

You’ll like this if…

You like smooth, jammy California red blends and sweeter-styled Zinfandel, and you would rather have juicy fruit than firm structure or earthy, savory flavors.

Why buy it

At under seven dollars this is a recognizable Napa-based name on an all-California blend that reliably delivers soft, ripe fruit. It is the kind of bottle you buy by the handful for a party or keep on hand for pizza night without worrying about the price.

Best for

Casual weeknight dinners, grilling, and crowd-pleasing pours where you want something everyone will find easy to drink.

Style

Soft, fruit-forward, lightly oaked California red blend with medium body, low tannin and a just-off-dry fruit impression.

Drinks like

Sits close to other inexpensive California red blends and smooth Zinfandel-based reds; softer and fruitier than a Cabernet Sauvignon at the same price, and much less structured than a Napa Valley red.

Experience level

Beginner-friendly - a good starting point for someone new to dry red wine, especially anyone stepping over from sweeter reds.

Pairs well with

grilled chicken thighs with barbecue glaze · baked ziti or spaghetti with tomato-meat sauce · pork chops, turkey burgers or grilled sausages · pepperoni pizza, sliders, loaded nachos · mild cheddar, monterey jack, smoked gouda · burgers with caramelized onion, or ribs off the grill

Serving & enjoying

Serving temperature:
60-65F - about 20 minutes in the fridge before pouring keeps the ripe fruit from tasting heavy

About this wine

A soft, juicy California red blend from Beaulieu Vineyard, built around Zinfandel with Merlot, Barbera and Petite Sirah for plum and blackberry flavors and a touch of vanilla oak. Fruit-forward and just off-dry, with easy tannins that make it an everyday pour rather than a bottle to think about.

About the winery · Beaulieu Vineyard ›

Beaulieu Vineyard was founded in Rutherford, Napa Valley, and the winery today markets itself on more than 125 years of Napa Valley winemaking, anchored by its historic Rutherford estate and the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Its reputation was shaped in the mid-20th century under legendary winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff, whose influence the winery still celebrates in its visitor tastings. Coastal Estates is BV's broad-sourced, value-priced California line, separate from the Napa Valley and Rutherford bottlings that carry the estate's name. The Coastal Estates wines are deliberately built to be fruit-forward and approachable, using fruit gathered from vineyards around the state. Treat them as the easygoing everyday end of the BV range rather than an expression of the Rutherford estate.
