Don't be put off by the fact this comes in a 5 liter box, this is not your father's Gallo Hearty Burgundy. Nor would this be confused with the overly hyped but similarly craptacular Charles Shaw. This is a solid every day red wine that just happens to come packaged in a box. I prefer this to many low end bottled offerings from Australia and California (Mondavi, BV, Kendall Jackson... I'm talking to you). In fact, the packaging is a nice bonus as the wine saves well for a couple of weeks (the last glass tastes as fresh as the first) and is perfect for doling out a single glass or two on a Wednesday night without making me feel compelled to finish the bottle. In fact, I wish more under $20 wines were packaged this way...

Past its best. Should have drank it years ago.

Brought to parent's "Memorial Day" party. Good wine for a large group. Would purchase again.
