Ace Kicker 'Big Bet' Blend 2017 Review
For the price, you can't go wrong with this if you are into the red blend category. It's a little lean on the nose with minimal aromas other than significant oak. The palate is where it's at with a smooth mouthfeel and balanced fruit with almost no tannins. Great weeknight wine.
