  Notes based on third and final day after opening. Initially it had a sharp, odd after taste but it dissipated quickly. Now, opaque red/purple in glass. Raspberry and underripe strawberry nose. Easy going in the mouth, light red fruit (more raspberry with a bit of plum undertone). Well balanced tannins, short to moderate finish. Went well with meatball, pepper, and mushroom stromboli. Solid table wine.

  nose: cranberry, red plum, brush, black pepper. a bit of mud.
  
  palate: red fruit all around, and intensely spicy. not quite dry, but pretty well balanced nevertheless. crunchy tannins, beautiful fruity acidity. long searing finish of fruit salad with pepper.
  
  distinctive, and the best damn bottle of cheap supermarket wine EVER
  
  followup: on the second day it was tastier...on the third it exploded into a decadence of raisin and minerality. quite the best 6 bucks i ever spent!

  Not much complexity, but easy to sip on. Brought to a gathering and people generally liked it. Decent value for the price. Buy again: Yes

  I mean, this is definitely the best bottle you'll find at your supermarket for $6.
