Butter, oak, and a touch of vanilla comprise this TJs value Chard. Better than I expected and felt great about its price significantly under $10. — a month ago

Delicious blend of 2 continents and varietals. Well balanced, great fruit (dark berries, plum) and smooth body. Wish my TJs could get more. Only $15 but drinks 2-3x in value. — 4 months ago

9.1

While its name doesn’t sound like an SB from NZ, it sure tastes like one. Pronounced passion fruit, a little green apple, and more lime than other Sauv Blancs. Refreshing and great value at TJs. — 6 months ago

Good blend of Cab and Merlot (why don’t more wineries break down the varietal composition of their blends?) with dark fruits, herbs and leather. Fifteen bucks at TJs for a limited time. Would buy again but not a favorite. — a month ago

9.1

Great red blend that makes me Super Happy. Cherries and dark berries and a touch of leather combine with mild tannins and a smooth finish for this unique blend of cab, Sangiovese, and Malbec. I’m sure it won’t be at TJs long so I’m going back for more of this $10 gem. — 5 months ago

Tropical and citrus acidity in this solid Albariño. Would definitely purchase again as weather warms. Great with salmon and Brussels. — 2 months ago

Dark fruits, oak, and herbs combine in this zin forward red blend. Great upon opening and excellent day 2. Not familiar with Mataro (only 5%) but blended to perfection. — 2 months ago

8.9

Medium body with lots of black fruit but lighter red/garnet than expected. Tremendous deal at TJs for only $3.49. Would rate it much higher if based on value for price. — 5 months ago

Robert Mondavi Winery

Private Selection Vint Bourbon Barrel-Aged California Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

8.9

A special price (at least short term) at TJs of only $6.99! Hadn’t tried previously as it was twice the price and I thought the bourbon barrel exposure would be a turnoff and too heavy. Turns out, this is a solid cab. I preferred the 2022 over the 2021. — 6 months ago
