Variety: Merlot
Region: Ripon, California
Country: US
Year: Non-vintage, I'm assuming a very recent year.
Price: $3 (sorry)
Winery Review: An initially decent mouthful of light fruit is palatable, but it ultimately gives way to some bitterness and green, vegetal notes. Again, that punch of raw alcohol, though much slighter here than in the white. It’s passably drinkable in a way that the Chardonnay is not, but it’s hardly something to treasure and hang on to for when you’re grilling a filet mignon. Let’s call it a C+. - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker
My Review: I am kind of embarrassed to write about a Walmart exclusive wine but it was too cheap to not try it. It's fairly dry with some slight fruitiness. I get hints of a dark / berry fruit like a blackberry, but something vegetal is making it bitter. It's very middle of the road for me in most aspects - not a strong acidity and not too heavy for a red. A medium wine that I probably won't drink again unless I have to.
