Cool label & easy on the wallet. It's just a little too light for my taste. If light is you thing yet not fruity then give it a try.

Reminds me of a simpler time in the past. However I think it is worthy of a memory.

Purchased this based on a write up by my local wine shop. Cabernet Sauvignon is my go-to wine. This wine is not. I don’t mind cheap table wine. Sometimes I really enjoy it. This is not that.

First pour is dark blood red.

Tangy fruits with heavy earthiness. Cranberries & currants. Perhaps a touch of licorice. Goes well with a spicy bag of nuts.

Second pour is often better, as it brings out the flavors and aromas. Instead, I taste the same berries and tangy fruits, but then the added mouth of rubber tires and old leather. Nothing seems to blend. I reached for a red truck, but received an old dirty truck that just won’t start.
