An easy drinking Target owned brand red blend, parts unknown, with straightforward flavors of blackberry & strawberry jam and vanilla on the nose and pallate. However the wine is almost semi-sweet and this cloying sweethness overwhelms much of the experience. Still...it paired well with St Paul's famous Hot Daego's and the Bachelor finale! ($10) [3/11/19]

Label is ok. Arty grapes. Simple color scheme. Color is deep and dark. Aroma has a ham, jam and molasses blend. Maybe a bit of leather. Both cherry-plum fruit leather and leather belt. Flavors are straight forward and fairly fruit driven, but it’s got a little earth and wet rocks. Can taste some Merlot. Balance is decent. Plenty of acid too. Just a bit too ripe.

Easy Target brand! Good and easy on pricing

The blend has a smooth opening and end to it with no major notes aside from the crisp grape blend.

Paired with a prosciutto pizza

Pairing with watching Hamilton on Disney+ (definitely on the sweeter side).

Target. Sweeter than our normal but easy drinking and enjoyable

12/21 Bear rating 8/10. Cherry and a little bit of grape and blackberry. Full flavor. Really good. Kind of bright.
