"Valentine's Day Gift Guide, What to Get Her" 

Men's Journal | February 2015 

"You know what they say: flat wine, flat relationship. Okay, no one says that. But this isn't the time for a bargain bottle. Instead, try this robust red (85 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 percent Petit Verdot, and 6 percent Cabernet France); the blend of black cherry, black tea, and caramel is balanced yet complex. $60"
