I was looking for an inexpensive "pizza" wine. Purchased it at BevMo's $.05 sale. I now have to figure out how to unload the second bottle. |

I first swirled and sniffed - not much to smell there, just a faint hint of cherry. After the wine sat in the glass for about 20-30 minutes, it developed both in flavor and smell. The fruit was definately there and quite pleasant. I would buy again - it is a bargain for the $9.99 I paid at Trader Joe's, but I would decant first. |

I had to try it based on the price at BevMo during the 5 cent sale and the review that indicated it was an easy wine to drink. I'm always looking for an affordable pizza wine - but this isn't it. I thought it had a bit of a harsh after taste. I wouldn't but it again. |
