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

I hate myself for buying this and I hate myself even more for drinking it. Straight alcohol fumes. Weirdly bitter kind of like a rubber band. Will never get again.

My favorite of the Trader Joe's red wines. Would buy again. Flavorful and easy to drink. Can't beat the price.

For such a low price wine, it had an awesome smooth taste of Berry fruits. Great for socially sipping with friends
