NV Carlo Rossi California Red in a 4-liter jug offers an approachable, easy-drinking red from California’s Central Valley.

The large glass jug with its classic finger-loop handle makes pouring effortless, whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or stocking a party dispenser.

Aromas, flavor, and mouthfeel

• Aroma: Simple, sweet, and highly fruit-forward, with a bright, translucent ruby-red appearance. Expect ripe red cherries, strawberry jam, and dark plums, accented by hints of red licorice and a touch of sweet baking spice.
• Palate: Medium-bodied, soft, and exceptionally smooth, delivering a succulent core of red berries and mixed berry compote. Zero aggressive tannins keeps the finish plush and velvety.
• Finish: Clean and softly off-dry, with a lingering berry sweetness that invites another sip without the need for aging or decanting.
