Medium purple red. Butter, jam, red licorice candy notes in nose. Tart cherry, berry and pomegranate flavors in mouth, moderate seed tannin and astringency. Definitely a food wine, decanting helps.

An easy wine to drink and a crowd pleaser. Strong black berry bouquet and flavor.

Not terrible. That’s about all I have for it. Seems a bit light with the taste leaving your mouth quickly. Not worth getting again, even at the great price.

First: let it breathe- tastes better. I don't know wine words, so here we go: easy to drink, best with food, tart and tangy finish. Wouldn't think "gosh I love this wine", but I do think "dang, for 5.99 at Trader Joe's, this is pretty good with dinner on a weekday and I don't feel bad throwing it away when we don't finish it off with the meal."

For $5 it’s alright. It’s tart which is kinda unique and has a strange aftertaste. Smells line bread

Organic orgasmic. But cheap at TJ’s. Can this be the best of all possible words? Decent color. Ruby with transparent center. Smells like weak coffee, cherry cough drops and wet rocks. Flavors are pretty simple, but balanced. Hint of coffee/dark chocolate. Tart types of berries. Nice bitter edge. Just a bit rough around the edges. Better than a lot of ‘natural wines’ at way high prices tho. Sorta a Euro style profile (think Sangiovese or Grenache). This give Organic red a better name.

Pretty good. Tasted tart cherry and jam at the beginning and it finished off slightly bitter.
