I see this wine on display at Wal-mart. Over by the toiletries, curiously enough. Maybe that should've tipped me off. But this brand seems to win all sorts of nice awards, including 84 or 86 pts from some wine rating. Ok. Maybe it's not bad. At a hair under $5, (!), what could it hurt?
The label says it's a "jammy wine with robust flavors of wild berries and currants...hints of toasted oak and clove enhance the velvety smooth finish." Ok, berry and currant, check. Jammy? If you pour a cup of water into your jam. This was mostly like drinking grape juice with some vodka. It's all pretty weak, tannins (oh, oh, am I wino now?) are almost nonexistent. I wouldn't even consider this table wine or even a daily drinker. The only thing it has going for it is the price. Frankly, I'd be willing do drop a few more bucks for a decent table wine instead.
(An hour later...) Oh! It's one of those wines that get better the drunker you get! Ha!
