I had better luck with this wine than some of the other folks here, and actually had some very different impressions. I love seeing what other people have to say. Maybe I gut lucky, it certainly happens, I might try it again and see what happens. Anyway, I included this wine in a blog about 2 value reds (this and the 337 Lodi Cabernet). Check it out if you'd like:
Super sweet, with some clear residual sugar. Made in a supermarket, yellow tail kind of style. Lacking any spice or tannin. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a jammy fruit forward wine as much as the next guy. This is beyond that. As an experiment, I kept coming back to it over the next week wondering if the fruit would subside and it would become drinkable. It never did. Time took the edge off of the sweetness, but it eventually tasted like oxidized sweet wine.

Agree with Captain Bacon. Tasted a bit like an old tire. My wife and I promptly poured this one down the drain.
