The Dreaming Tree Crush Blend California Red Wine

Start with what is easiest to pin down: across the stores we checked in September 2026, the price ranged from $12.49 to $18.99. If you are scanning the red shelf for something inexpensive, this one sits toward the lower end of the reds we track.

On who is behind it, the concrete point is corporate: The Wine Group lists The Dreaming Tree among the brands in its portfolio. That names the company holding the label, not whoever blended this particular wine. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine.

The origin given for this bottle is California. The grape or grapes in it are not something we can confirm, and in our September 2026 checks eight of the stores we visited stocked it.

As with its Cabernet Sauvignon sibling, Dreaming Tree credits this blend to a named winemaker, Grayson Stewart, who describes the brand's approach as "working with mother nature rather than against her." The same sustainability choices apply here: grapes from vineyards using sustainable growing practices, a bottle built about a third lighter than an average premium wine bottle, a naked cork with no foil capsule, and a label made from 100 percent recycled paper. The producer calls this wine "a hand-selected blend from premium California grape varieties," without naming the varieties themselves, and its own tasting note describes "jammy flavors of raspberry and dark cherry" finishing long and soft. The product page shows two scores, 91 points and 90 points, but names no publication or critic behind either, so neither is treated here as a sourced rating.

Our call: worth a look for a shopper prioritizing price and a named winemaker over a confirmed grape list; the price sits toward the lower end of the reds we track, and Grayson Stewart is credited by the producer, with sustainable sourcing and packaging choices stated outright. Pass if you want to know exactly which grapes are in the blend, or a critic score you can trace to a publication; the producer names neither, and the two scores shown on its page carry no attributed source.
