I got this wine at a price that was a steal from a source that I trusted. On one hand there was the trepidation of having cheap wine (which is quite often disappointing if you have ever had good wine) and on the other hand there was the excitement of having something guilt free to drink in the house (I hate feeling like I am forced to open stuff early).
To my pleasant surprise this stuff was great. No ugly sour aftertaste, no strange bitter flavors and no overwhelming alcohol, which are the typical traits of really cheap wine that I don’t like. No hangover either (some wine is great tasting but you feel like a mule kicked you in the head when you wake up). What the wine did have is a pleasant, subtle flavor that was not marred by the prescence of Merlot (which is quite often something I don’t like to drink. Bad luck with Merlot, me).
Considering the pleasant flavor, lack of typical cheap wine bad attributes and lack of hangover this is something that I highly recommend you try, especially if you are a bit of a tightwad or delight in having good stuff for cheap. Just don’t expect that all wine at this price will taste this good.
