Feb 9th, 2020This one was sold at a big discount at the cash desk at the liquor store and I couldn't resist the utter cheapness of it. Opened this up as a reward after a round of Christmas present wrapping. I was initially going to give this a much lower score as it seemed harsh and hot, but after snacking on some dried fruit, this wine opened up big time. This one might work nicely as a sangria or a mulled wintertime wine. As it stands, gulping this back with some dried mangoes between Christmas tasks was excellent. Not bad for a cheapie feature wine at the register!
