I like this blend quite a lot. It is very fruity and no noticeable tannins. Being so cheap, this is a great everyday wine for me. — 4 years ago

Advent calendar, day 21. Yum!! I love the full, grapey, berry, juicy flavors of this wine. It has a smooth finish and left me definitely wanting more. Very delicious wine. — 4 years ago

Advent calendar, day 17. I’m not going to pretend that I actually know what I’m talking about, but I’m taking a guess that this wine would be better if allowed to age further. It has a nice flavor and a lot of potential, but it feels like it could be so much better. But I’ll never know because I drank it up! — 4 years ago

Advent calendar, day 15. This was another so-so red. It had a forgettable flavor, and fulfilled my desire for some wine more so than my tastebuds. — 4 years ago

This was actually better to drink fresh from the bottle than after opening up. It was a bit disappointing, with thin fruit flavors. — 4 years ago

Advent calendar, day 19. This red seemed pretty average. Perfectly drinkable but nothing overly interesting. This opinion may be skewed by having had an Old Fashioned beforehand. — 4 years ago

8.0

Advent calendar, day 16. This has a sweet scent and start, but the sweetness fades quickly into a slightly tart, fruity flavor. It’s not terribly exciting to drink on its own but would likely pair well with some foods for a nice wine with dinner. — 4 years ago
