Cheap, fruity, a tiny bit of spice to it. Delish inexpensive merlot with dinner on a weekday.

Inky, goes down easy without being bland. One of my go-tos.

Juicy and sour. Smells like lemonade, drinks like I don't know how to taste subtleties in wine.

Nice color. Red rose and maroon color. Smells like fall spice, black or red berries and black cherry juice. Flavors are juicy with a bit of mocha. Bit to chewy on. Nice acids. It’s a merlot for the masses, but it retains some character and is a hint funky. Maybe not great, or amazing. But it’s good enough.
