For an inexpensive wine, this is a pretty good investment. The alcohol is high, but it’s in keeping with the cherry, berry, currant, dark chocolate and spice richness, giving a fat, glycerol oiliness to the fruit. Easy to like this soft, dry, heady wine.——S.H.(2/1/2011)—— 87

The price isn’t bad on this soft, sweet non-vintage blend. It has candied flavors of berries, cherries and cola. ——S.H.(4/1/2011)—— 84
