Blossom Hill Calfornian Red (soft & fruity)

By Peanuts
01 April 2013
Dabbler
Female, aged 55-64

Exactly as the label says, soft & fruity, lightweight in taste...as opposed to the heavy, strong flavour of some shiraz for instance. Very fruity & good with food or on its own, lovely with cheese.

Good for all occasions

By Trish19

Female, aged 55-64

This review is for the 2012 vintage

I love this wine for glugging at any time; being a wine peasant, as I'm frequently told in this context, I like to keep it in the fridge for this purpose. It also goes well with cheese and biscuits, or with a meal. All my friends seem to like it (unless I just have particularly polite friends). It's nicely rounded and fruity-tasting, without any vinegary back-taste.

We love Blosom Hill Wine

By boneymaroney

We ordered this wine for ourselves for Christmas. We bought it on offer but it would have been worth full price, best red wine we have had for a long time.

A good "chugalug"

By LizT
22 December 2012
Dabbler
Female, aged 55-64

This is my favourite "chugalug" wine. It's nice and light, unlikely to give you a hangover (depending on how much of it you drink of course.) More of a drinks and nibbles wine rather than a serious dinner party wine but very acceptable.

This is a lovely light red. It goes with any food and is just as good without food. A good all round choice.

Why choose this wine

By Susie
19 December 2012
Dabbler
Female, aged 45-54

I find red wine can be heavy in the summer but this is suitable in all weathers and for any food. I have introduced quite a few of my friends to this wine. We have even enjoyed a glass or two with some popcorn whilst watching a good DVD.

Easy Drinking

By EasyDrinker
15 December 2012
Novice
Male, aged 55-64

This is a soft easy drinking Red, that we enjoy while watching Tele or Eating a meal. We have been drinking it for a number of years and have tried other in the same price range but always return to it. Big problem is that it is now hard to find in store, but ordering on line is easy. Go for it.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

Having tried many more expensive wines, I keep coming back to Blossom Hill, which is not only excellent 'value for money' but is a refreshing drink.

This wine suits me perfectly.

By Heather
26 November 2012
Dabbler
Female, aged 65 or Over

This is the wine I buy for my every day drinking. It is a soft smooth easy red - which goes down pleasantly and easily. It would not appeal to those liking a robust red - which I do not.

Excellent Californian Red

By Pops0910
25 November 2012
Dabbler
Male, aged 55-64

This is truly a drink for all connoisseurs of red wine, a pleasure of a mixture of berry fruit and and mild aromas to enhance the flavor of this very popular wine. It is boarding on sweet but with a reserved mild boarding on sharp finish taste . Its got to be one of the best to accompany all dishes.

A very consistent wine that is very soft and smooth and excellent value for money. A great evening tipple that is good with or without food.

If you like ribena with your Sunday lunch then this is for you, horrid, horrid mass produced nonsense. Avoid and stop this wine being sold.

Lovely Red

By Tres3

Beginner
Female, aged 45-54

I am in no way a wine expert, but this Red is very smooth and easy for drinking on its own or with red or white meats. I would highly recommend this wine. Brilliantly priced by Tesco-Wine-By-The-Case.
