I love this wine. To me, it is a shining example of how an inexpensive wine can rival even the most high-end offerings. I use this wine as my staple gift when attending dinner/house parties, and i've never received anything but accolades for how good it tastes. If you've never tried it, I recommend immediately turning off your computer, getting in your car, going to the store, buying a bottle, and pouring yourself a nice full glass of this awesome wine!
Recommendation: Definitely buy it




I'd been wondering about this one, since it just appeared in my local shop. Its one where the label caught my eye but didn't know if it was just graphic design snobbery on my part that I was drawn to it!

This is perhaps one of my favorite under $10 wines. I agree with the rating. Have you tried Twin Fin's Pinot Noir? That's another one I'd put on my under $10 definitely buy list, especially with how much pinot noirs are costing these days. Thank you for making cheap wines an acceptable form of pleasure.

I took your suggestion and turned off the computer, got into the car, went to the store, and bought it. It actually was not at the first two liquor stores I went to, but it was well worth the chase! Excellent budget wine!

My wife brought this home from Trade Joes (I think). No offense meant, but that means it's kind of a crapshoot. When I openened this up I didin't know what to expect, especially with the genererically, all encompassing description of not only Merlot on the back, but also including Zin and Cab.
Any way, wow! What a bottle for under $10. Fat, upfront in your face flavor and a good mouthfeel for the price. I'd put it on my everyday drinker list.
