I bet they tricked a whole lot of people into buying this one. Don't! 2 Buck Chuck is definitely known for putting out some pretty good wines for unbeatable prices, but this one is absolutely not worth the $2 that it costs. It smells like a public restroom at first, and after half a bottle is smells like a clean public restroom. Fortunately, it does taste a little better than that, but not much. For some reason I think of blueberries...
