Not surprisingly, with a kitchen sink blend of 12 red and white grapes, this basic table wine is a little difficult to pigeonhole. Mixed fruits, spices, and a touch of oak. Easy drinking, it's kind of our take-out Chinese food wine, interesting enough, but nothing to write home about.

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide brick rim.

Sweet nose of cherries, plums, sweet vanilla, licorice, cloves, flowers, cotton candy, metals, spices and peppercorn.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and some legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, plums, cherries, strawberries, currants, vanilla, licorice, earth, spices and peppercorn.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tart raspberries.

A simple red blend from Mendoza.
Easy drinking. Not offensive at all but not special either.
A Good food wine, or just to Sip on. Balanced, but without any complexity. Good right out of the bottle.

The bottle is very unique looking, so I bought it for the bottle...

A blend of 12 different grapes. The wine is called 12 grapes, and there is a nice story behind it, but it's too long for this post. Google does a good job explaining it.
Although it is not offensive, it does taste like it's a blend of a bunch of leftover wine.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
