An excellent deal for $5! Decant for about 20 minutes. Very fruit forward, could use some spice, but very smooth. Flavors sort of drop off late mid-palette.

Not bad. A bit dry for my palate, but very drinkable for the clearance price of $2.50...

Interesting blend on merlot and Zin. Odd balance of sweet and tannic. Not sure I like it.

A very simple wine. Not complex, or bad, just simple. Not specialized at all but a decent wine for a regular night.

Sample, relatively fruit forward with jammy red fruit and toasty oak notes on the nose and the palate.
