Pretty good Tempranillo, especially for the price. This mellowed out after a few days; I think it's much better after oxygenating a bit!

Update: ended up making this one into a sangria. Perfect with some apples and cinnamon 👌

Smooth, versatile medium red that’s sort of getting me through this quarantine right now. You really can’t beat the value of the 1L.

Just great. A wine I could ostensibly drink daily.

Tried this at Crafty Cow in Bay View and really liked it. It was a nice surprise for such an inexpensive glass of wine.

This unoaked Tempranillo does not have much of a nose. This wine is fruit forward and round. Bright cherry and berry notes. This is an easy drinking wine. Good with Italian sausage, red sauce, and mozzarella.

Tasty - not super bold in flavor, but simple and delicious.

Average, but cheap for a liter. Would be great for sangria. (Red Star Liquors)
