Portuguese red blend, with parts unknown, although I suspect it has a good amount of Alicante Bouschet given hints of smoky-sweetness throughout. Starts with aromas of plum & a hint of sweet tobacco. Palate is juicy & off-dry with more plum & black cherry coming through. Another excellent value coming out of Portugal (keep em coming Costco!) & was a crowd pleaser at the dinner party! ($6) [10/3/19]

Easy going down. Not complex, no finish. Medium dry describes it pretty accurately i.e. a bit sweet. Not remarkable but not bad.

Meh. The label says 90 pts from wine enthusiast. Apparently we tested different things. To me, this is thin, flat, a bit too sweet, and had a strong alcohol tang. Not much on the finish, nothing lingers to pull me back in for another drink. Not a fan, I won't get again.
Note: better the second day, more complex but still not something I'll buy again
