Like this one a lot. Nice vanilla and subtle toasted oak flavor. Very creamy with a pleasant finish. $13.99 on sale at Divine Wines.

Pretty good acid but sort of awkward.

oaky & sweet, but has a balance not found in many inexpensive wines of this overplayed style

Not bad for less than $15, but probably won't buy again

If you like a straight up non-creamy char, this is for you!
