It's amazing to find something so cheap at Mollie Stone's. Other than candy bars, there isn't anything cheaper in the entire store. That's an excellent first start for this wine. I was excited about it before I even got it home.

In terms of the actual wine - I can't really complain all that much about it. Tastes fine - it's nice and spicy and very full bodied. Down side is that it is labeled as cheap - probably not a great idea to bring it as a gift to a dinner. To keep around to pour into people's glasses once they've had a few - perfect.
