Honestly not very good. I can't really believe that this isn't a good wine so I would really like to try it again bc it almost tasted as if it'd gone bad

Rich in flavor but lack of depth. Smooth and a bit sweet. Never had a bad wine from Hess.

It's a good wine, not my fav. Very fruit forward (I tasted so much black cherries). Could easily be a favorite for someone who likes lots of notes of dark fruits, that's just not my style!

Nice wine great for an evening glass of wine. Will stand up to more expensive wines.
