I know everyone raves about this, but it was too sweet to accompany a meal. It's a good wine if you don't really like wine very much and want something sweet. For us, though, it's probably not something we'd buy again. Tastes of blackberry jam and roasted chestnuts.

Very fruit forward medium bodied red wine. Good every day drinker and only $8 a bottle at Safeway. A little too sweet for some.

A bit sweet, but a nice easy flavor. Good for a party, attractive label. :-)

Too sweet and oaky. Easy drinking though, I'm sure it would be a crowd pleaser

Artificial vanilla flavored coffee beans with whipped toffee cupcake frosting...mixed with Juicy Juice fruit punch. A red for girls who are used to sugary cheap wine product Moscato and "girls' nights!" -- when they want to feel like actual adults by drinking a red. However, this is not. it. Stick to your Yellow Tail, ladies.

Perfect social wine for everyone except for my father who is a wine snob. Light and sweet enough for the non-regular red wine drinkers but rich enough for those who want a medium-bodied red that doesn't have a specific pairing and can be consumed by itself. From the first inhale of the delicious scent to the buttery finish, I am a fan.
