We polished off 3 bottles of this to cap off the night and for $20 why not.

Meh…it’s fine but not great. Dull cherry and perfumed oak. Definitely not worth the money — tastes like any number of cheap anonymous wines half the price. 86.

Barely tannic.. Much lighter tasting than the 2018. It settled down on subsequent tastings.

3.4. Wonderful initial taste and smell, but a little flat later on. Sold for $25.99.

I really enjoyed this, even on Day 2. My husband said, "Too earthy," but maybe that's what I liked best.
