Drinking very nicely right now. The fruit is there, mainly cherry but also hints of strawberry. I also get a nice hint of spice. It is very smooth and easy to drink.

Nice color, unimpressive smell. First taste - ick! Rather harsh, bitter flavor. I don't detect any fruit. Well, I guess I got what I paid for. 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.

This is only the second organic wine I've knowingly tried. The first few sips were a bit disappointing. 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.
