REVIEWS: Server- Torrance's Favorite:
"I chose the Plethora because I find it fascinating that a wine that is a blend of nine different grape varieties can be this enjoyable. I would say this wine is a perfect medium bodied red. I think that the combination of the different grape varieties, pulls this wine together to be the red wine that anyone could enjoy. When I drink this wine at home, I like to pair it with a nice chicken breast with potatoes and asparagus."
