Once again, another import from “Wine Wave” out of Long Island, NY.
It’s a very straightforward wine with pretty obvious cherry flavors, that’s fruity, slightly spicy, rounded, and leaves a long dry finish. More smooth than crisp, that’s for sure, with no real acidity.
This wine is in no way offensive. If I purchased it at Safeway for $11 I’d think nothing of it, and probably even buy it again in a pinch,especially if I was bringing it to a party where people like the bigger Cali style. It seems to sell anywhere between $17-$22 in a variety of places, so there’s a discount.
All that said, I wouldn’t spend another $11 at GO for it because I feel I can get better wines in that range elsewhere. Yet, I’ve definitely spent more and gotten less in my life.
