Bright cherry and mocha aroma. Medium dry finish and no complexity. Cherry remains on the palette with a tart afterwards. I'd call this wine a last resort.

This is Wine Enthusiast's #28 pick in their 2016 Top 100 Best Buys. Their words: "A screaming deal." For only $7.97 at Total Wine, it is a good deal and a good weekday wine. Rather tannic, but not overly so.

Pretty good. A little generic.
