Franzia Dark Red Blend (5L, 13.5%)

A full-bodied, dry California red blend from The Wine Group, packaged in a five-litre bag-in-box format. The blend is sourced from California vineyards and vinified for a consistent, fruit-forward profile; the bag-in-box packaging uses oxygen barrier films and the Franzia Wine Tap system to keep the wine fresh after opening. Red cherry and ripe plum lead the nose, with darker berry and a subtle earthy quality plus faint vanilla. The palate is juicy with blackberry and currant, pepper spice and vanilla, with surprising weight. The finish is smooth and slightly dry, with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice and an earthy undercurrent.
