Surprisingly good inexpensive wine! Full bodied red that's goes down easily. Low acid and mellow. I plan to head back to Trader Joes and pick up a case.

Purple and deep red in color. Mint, briar and cherry notes in nose. Cherry, plum and minty-herbal notes in mouth with lemon-tangerine acidity and coffee-tinged bitterness and coarse astringency on finish. Curiously restrained in style initially, but more integrated with decanting. No one varietal dominant in the glass, but overall good value for a basic table wine.

Great food-friendly red. Light enough to not overpower cheesy ravioli putanesca. $10 TJs.

Average bottle of wine. Needs to decant for an hour. There's better bottles at that price point.

Ripe cherry with a dry, minerally finish... Medium body. Well worth the price.

Pretty good. Slightly spicy, light body and cherry forward.

Very nice everyday wine and a great value as well. Rare to find something of decent quality at trader joes. Simply paired with spaghetti leftovers and loud children.

Great wine. Goes well with food. Oakey but still vibrant
