Like the Picasso inspired style on the label art. Dark color, with a bit of maroon in the mix. Smells heady with a eucalyptus and linen nuance to go with the berry compote. Excellent flavors. Fruits of the vine meet cherry concentrate. Hint of Indian spices and smoke. Fleshy. Full bodied and full flavored. Nice example of the best kind of Spanish Tempranillo. — 14 days ago
Very light color. Barely orange-ish pink. Wonder if Grenache Gris is a grape or the way they made it. Smells citrusy. With some wet rocks. Flavors are slick. Hint sweet with white grape juice. Bitter and bright. There is a Sauv Blanc or another white type of vibe here. — 24 days ago
Lots of Victorian vibes on the label. Ruby, rose color. Smells like old books, linseed oil and red fruits. Flavors are smooth and juicy for French. Has a nice bite too. Kinda classic Bordeaux blend. Wonder how they got the Meritage name. That’s supposed to be for American Bordeaux style blends…This definitely scratches the French red itch. — 5 days ago
Funny label. French gate, with Kirkland Signature there too. Light color. Easy. Deck by the pool stuff. Smooth. — 17 days ago
Good, festive style on the label. Cool narrow fluted bottle. Lovely pink color. Lighter aroma. Hint of soaps to go with the crushed fresh leaves. Citrus too. Flavors are excellent. Crisp and delicious. Oranges and stone fruit. Also a bit of mineral water bite in there. This is great Rosé, and a great deal for $4 at G.O. — 19 days ago
Not much going for it with the label. Saw somewhere this was from the Loire Valley. Relatively dark for French Pinot Noir. Smells a bit stemy with the fruit notes. Hint of funk. Flavors are nice. Bitter bite. Fruit of the vine, cane and bramble. Hint of cola. Tart. This fits nicely in the Pinot from around the world. Fresh and juicy. — a month ago
Fairly classy label style. $6 score at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. Deep red color. Definite tobacco on the nose to go with a berry-cherry compote. Flavors also have that smoke and tomato/tobacco leaf element to go with a rich, full mouthfeel. Blackberry and plums on the fruit style. More present on the finish. This is a ‘better’ Carmenere. Denser flavors and more to smell. Would pair well with grilled peaches and crema. — 7 days ago
Has a classy label. Bull is a nice touch. Bit higher ABV at 14%. Darker color of blood. Aroma is savory style. Tamari meets violets and rose petals. There is a streak of something else I can’t quite get. Certainly hint of cherry liquor too. Flavors are also also savory. Plenty tart too. Classic Spanish Tempranillo. Delicious stuff. — 18 days ago
This wine is pale with a tiny hint of pink in the straw colored wine. Smells like strawberry lemon water. Flavors are excellent. Drinks a bit like a nice Rhone white blend. Little citrus, some fennel bulb, hints of yellow peaches and green plums. This ain’t half bad. In fact it’s more than half good. — 25 days ago

This is the Petite Verdot. Simple label. Nice color. Deep ruby, red. Smells musky and like crushed wet leaves from a forest shrub. Slight fruit streak. Flavors are nice. Fruit molasses and cherry stuff. There’s some sawdust or fresh cut wood. Bittersweet. This is nice, well made French red. Balanced and elegant. Good stuff. — 2 days ago
