Considering the low cost of $3.49 for a bottle; the wine was not bad. It has an even taste. It does not surprise the pallet with something exciting but it's a good red to accompany a quick meal.

Pretty non-descript effort but no real offenses either.. Cheap party merlot I suppose.

Easy to drink, not sweet. Not a lot of flavor but I’d buy it again.

Good party wine for the price. A little light for a merlot but will do for feeding the multitude.
