Since this is NV, it's probably too optimistic to expect consistent ratings over the years. Anyway, I recommend this (bought at Trader Joe's perhaps five months ago) - it's smooth and more complex than would be expected for its cost.

It was much better than I expected. Opened up in the glass a bit. It wasn't a huge fruit bomb that some of the less expensive wines are. Fairly light in both color and body, but soem nice earthiness with a fairly dry finish.

I'm not big on Merlot-Zinfandel blends, but as they go, this one is a good value at Trader Joe's @ $6.99. Extremely smooth, sweet. From http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=807 - "Merlot (81%) and Zinfandel (10%), rounded out by a super-secret combination of red varietals (9%)."

really freakishly bad aftertaste. too sweet on the front, maybe good for the 14 hands and ménage a trois crowd.
