Lauren says, “Thin in the glass. Medium red color. Aroma of oak and red cherry. Seems Pinot noir-like. Light to medium bodied. High acidity. Thin feeling in the mouth. Super mediocre. Flavor of vanilla and red fruit. Fairly fruity aftertaste. Nothing special at all. Would be ok to drink if I had nothing else. The sweetness is just odd and artificial. Very one dimensional. Not my kind of wine but would be fine as a house wine for casual occasions. 4/10.”

Zach says, “Very thin in the glass. Cherry red. Looks like Pino noir. The nose is simple, but not unpleasant. There are notes of canned strawberry and vanilla extract. No mouthfeel at all. Extremely thin. Highly acidic, thin like water. Absolutely no tannin or structure. Unmistakably metallic on the finish with some degree of artificial red fruit. If someone told me this was a low end Pino with the incorrect label, I would be not surprised. 4.5/10.”
