for the $9 price, this is quite good, but don't get your hopes up... it's a drinkable, cheap Bordeaux -- nothing more

Hints of varietal hallmarks oak and butter, but this is crisper and more exciting than most chardonnays, with other flavors coming to the front (apple and an almost tropical overtone).

It's a $10 bordeaux and worth every bit of it. I don't mean that tritely -- you get what you pay for and this is cheap, so this isn't going to rock your socks; but it's a decent bordeaux for a great price. It's young, but at this price I'm plan to get some more and see how it holds up... I'm optimistic.

dark berry and spice on the nose and palate, bold flavor; not incredible, but quite nice for the price; a little hot at first, but opened up nicely -- definitely one to aerate or decant

lemony with a slightly sweet finish; great wine for a casual evening outside in the summer

pleasantly surprised. obviously it's not a wine that will wow anybody, nor is it particularly exciting in any respect, but it is well-made and nothing to be ashamed of serving. honestly, I wish I had saved it to serve to someone asking for cab!

this is a lovely riesling at a very reasonable price, a little sweeter than the Pacific Rim Dry Riesling, but not too sweet

very jammy; not a fantastic wine, but well-worth the $6.95 I paid

as noted by others, this definitely needs time to open up, but it is quite good

very nice nose and body; a California meritage with a California-esque edge of spice complimenting the cherry and plum flavor

nice floral nose; dry, slightly exotic fruity taste with a crisp finish; would pair terrifically with spicy (esp. Thai) cuisine

buttery; pretty good for the (very cheap) price, but I probably wouldn't get it again

bouquet of green apple, citrus, and light floral overtones; taste is sweet -- apricot, with a bit of tangy lime, and a definite note of honey, yet not overpoweringly sweet, with a nice, crisper finish than most sweet rieslings; great wine at an excellent price

floral nose, with a stone fruit and hibiscus taste; strong alcoholic smell and taste for a viognier; would pair well with meats and/or spice
