My fave #traderjoes wine experiment find so far. Fruity, jammy, earthy, and wood. Ate with Parrano for a snack, decanted for 30 minutes.

In love with this merlot! Luscious, hot without the heat, soft, and round. Yum!

I cannot believe I'm about to say this, but I loved this wine. Soft, very round, luscious raspberry/cherry and vanilla up front with a slight chocolate finish. Has a moderate alcohol content, but tastes hotter than labeled. Overall, phenomenal value for everyday drinking. Had with an herb roasted pork tenderloin and roasted broccoli and went great with it.

Justin says it had a forgettable fade away, but thought it was very drinkable and fruity. Will def drink again at large parties. Drinks like an avg $8 bottle.

Very grape and blueberry forward, round as it opened up, fairly easy to drink, slightly peppery and tannic finish. For the price, I may drink again, but flavor is fairly forgettable. Justin feels very meh about it. An ok #budgetwine option.
Ate with a sheep's milk French Basque cheese, roasted herb Dijon pork tenderloin, and roasted broccoli.
