Drank like a wine priced in the teens. Far better than the Ironstone Merlot we had last week at the same $8 price point. Nothing special about this wine, other than it drinks above its cost. Reasonably well balanced. Can pair with many every day meals. Will not enhance a fancy meal, but for pairing with a normal weekday dinner, it's perfectly fine. Normally I would describe it better in a tasting note, but it's been 4 days and given there was nothing overly remarkable about it, I really can't remember the details. I just remember I was pleased given the price point.

- Crimsom color and aromas of cloves. It's overly acidic and has flavours of raspberry with a light/medium body. Juicy texture with a short finish.

Very tasty, drank with chicken dip and stuffed hot pepper apps! Cathy thought it tasted much more expensive.

Dark red. Mild medium bodied. Taste of berries, slightly minty. Would have bought it below $20
