$6.99 from Trader Joe's? Light body, balanced acidity, hint of alcohol heat and tannins. This would pair well with a lot of foods. — 5 years ago

Totally workable red wine for a relaxing evening. Not a lot of bourbon character. Medium body and dark red fruits with low tannic presence. Acceptable and enjoyable, but nothing special. — 5 years ago

7.6

$2.99 at Trader Joe's. Purchased to compare with another merlot. Odd tannins that linger in an unpleasant way. Harsh acidity. Dark grape and... Smuckers jelly? Kool-aid? Not 'yummy' but still drinkable. — 5 years ago

$7.99 from Trader Joe's. Nice tannins and acidity. More minerals than juicy fruits. Really nice. Milder with more ripe fruits on subsequent days. — 5 years ago

7.2

$5.99 at Trader Joe's. Very very dry, with harsh tannins and alcohol heat. Harsh and thin. Minerals. Calms down after some air time. I feel like this is what red wine tastes like to a new wine drinker. I would not buy this again. — 5 years ago

8.5

$4.99 at Trader Joe's. Alcohol, yeast, and fruit juice (cranberry?) in the nose. Juicy! Smooth body, very low tannins, pleasant tartness and a hint of 'juicy juice'. — 5 years ago
