pop and pour: sour, harshly acidic, no redeeming qualities. Drinkable in certain situations...such as if those were my instructions at gunpoint.
Not sure why I bothered to Vacuvin and retry it chilled the third day, but it must have been the dulling effect of chilling that greatly improved it to being bad but drinkable even in the absence of gunplay Tart under-ripe fruit (indistinct but let's say raspberry, cherry, and table grapes) and a vegetal element. Still no reason for this to exist under any circumstance, but especially not at Trader Joe's, where Il Valore Chianti is 7 times better for a buck more .

Used a Venturi aerator for this bottle - works pretty well. Dark ruby color. Not too aromatic. Well balanced. Drinkable but not outstanding.
