100 Point Rating Guide

96-100 Extraordinary A wine of finesse, complexity, and expression. True to variety and region. Perfect balance of flavors with a long finish.
90-95 Excellent True to variety and region, with terrific complexity and balance. While not a wine for the ages, a superior example.
85-89 Good Meets your expectations, with sound flavors and balance. Might have limited complexity or be short on the palate. A sound wine.
80-84 Average Drinkable, might not have as much varietal character. Simple flavors, no flaws, but nothing special.
75-79 Below Average Might contain one flaw, simple straight-forward flavors, off-balance, unpleasant.
60-74 Undrinkable, Flawed Contains significant flaws. Unpleasant, not commercially acceptable.

Nice and smooth from the start. My first impression: raspberry yogurt. I guess that implies I was getting a heavy dose of vanilla, maybe over oaked.

Good amount of cherry and other black fruits. It was definitely pretty darn good for the price.

A little "grapey", i.e., tastes a bit like welches. So i guess it goes wo/ saying that it lacks harmonious balance and any structure.

That being said for 4 dollars, its drinkable. Some spice on the finish and definately better than most of the $4 swill at Traders.
