Peppery nose, but not much else going on. Smooth, but a bit unbalanced in the finish. Taste is quite sweet. Red cherry and other bright, fresh fruit taste. It wasn't a bad deal for $7 at Trader Joe's, but I will probably not purchase again. Good option if you like a red table that is a juicy, fruity and fairly sweet red.

A very light, kinda sweet red blend. Hardly any aroma on the nose. The taste is sweet dark berry fruit forward, with additional flavors of cherries. Bordering on too sweet, to be honest - I think many people may find it that way. A very light mouthfeel and body, and little finish. However, as others have said, this is an almost ridiculously easy-drinkin' wine.

No way a 6.99 bottle of wine can be this good. TJ's can't keep this wine in stock in this area.
Medium body, velvety on the palate, just like the label says. Dry, but sweet cherries, chocolate and I get a bit of mint at times. A conundrum to me. Good acidity. Short finish, but for the price, who cares.

How this ever got o the shelf for $6.99 is a mystery to me. Evrything you would want in a meritage with possibly the exception of uniqueness. VERY drtinkable. Am going to hop on down to TJ's and pick up sopme more before it's gone!

Tart, with spice notes. Not as great as hoped for.

Rich flavors. Wished I had a slice of chocolate cake to pair with it.

Had grape jam taste and aroma when first opened. Much better on day two. Reminded me of other semi-sweet red blends like Promiscuous.

Sweet, definitely wouldn't drink it after a greater bottle. Ok with dessert.

Interesting. Different. Better than it needs to be for the price. An excellent second bottle.
