It's not bad. Dry red. Kinda sweet. Good for a free wine but don't think I'd order it myself

Good enough. Soft and smooth, a tad dry initially. It was a dinner guest's gift. No idea how much it was. Drinkable

Dark fruit aromas
Blackcurrant flavours
Relatively smooth finish for a cheaper wine

At $4? Sold! I was impressed by the quality of a simple table wine. A slightly sour aftertaste, but smooth overall.

Earthy oak, plum, and banana. Dry and a little flat but not bad.

Remember when we bought this by the case for $24 a box…. $3.99 now in Lincoln Nebraska…..and we thought it was great 15 years ago
