Herbacious like thyme and rosemary. maybe some peach notes. Smells a little like pine. A little sweetness. Did not notice acidity. — 8 years ago

I really didn't like this, even being from WA state, I have trouble giving it a local bonus. On par with two buck chuck. Just kind of a one dimensional acidic red. — 9 years ago

Pretty decent red blend for $8, good drinkable red. Would like to have more back of the pallette complexity for the perfect food pairing. I would say taste reminds me of tart cherries, a little thyme, a little leather finish. — 9 years ago

A bit grassy, some spice, maybe very slight blue berry taste. hits almost entirely on the front of the tougne. Mellow, not too sweet or acidic. Mild tannin . The cork did not hold up well. — 8 years ago

I believe this was a Trader Joe's exclusive wine for $7. For that price it's decent, serviceable everyday dinner wine. — 9 years ago

Ok for cheap wine. Has an aggressive front end, could benefit from mellowing. I swear my glass just looks that dirty, I am not actually that filthy. — 8 years ago

8.1

Slightly okay but not overwhelming, also a little added body from a moderate sweetness. The fruit tones remind me of peach I suppose. I would like this more if it wasn't so sweet. — 9 years ago
