More acidic and tart than I was expecting and fairly thin, yet the milk chocolate and vanilla notes are appealing. Just a hint of spice; gentle tannins. Score based on it becoming especially smooth chilled on the second day, with the acidity balancing what little residual sugar there might be.

I love this wine! It is smooth and complex. No bitterness. I prefer sweet wines, but do not find this one sweet, as opposed to other reviewers. It is a regular "go-to" wine for me. The wine looks ruby colored.

It is what it is. A tasty pop and pour. Medium density, toward the red side in color. Young, semi-sweet fruit, little tannin or acidity. We drank it at about 60 degrees and was better cool than when it warmed. Bought for friends who don't like better wines. Served the purpose.

It is what it is. Many will like this, and I have to admit, I enjoyed the first couple of sips also. But in the end, this is not really a serious wine, because of residual sugar. Much like Apothic this wine is no where near totally dry. It has deep purple color. Youthful red fruit nose. The fruit is fresh and juicy, and if it were totally dry would could be balanced with some lip smacking acid. But, doesn't need oak or tannins. Seductively tasty at first, but cloying overall.

pretty good for what you're getting. made in a crowd pleasing style, a bit jammy but not so much that it takes away from the drink. good for parties.
