Online Reviews: Some online reviews suggest that this wine "seems Zinfandel or Shiraz like at first, with pleasantly surprising notes of coffee and warm earth." Other reviews from blind taste testers said "It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be" and "I'm actually impressed by this."
My Review: Since I am still a little wary of what red wines I like, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I liked this one. From my initial sniff of the wine, I could immediately smell the hints of different fruit present in the wine. After tasting my first sip, I noticed that the wine was a little sweeter than I had expected but still had a little bit of a bitter aftertaste. It also felt warm as I drank it. I served the wine at room temperature and initially tasted the first few sips of the wine by itself. I finished the rest of my glass with some chocolate chip cookies which brought out some more of the fruity flavors. For the price, you really can't beat it. I would definitely buy this wine again in the future and try it with pasta and vegetables like the label suggests.
