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.

Sweet, supple, oaky, vanilla. Typical one dimensional cheap merlot. On the + side, nothing horribly wrong w/ this wine, and it's cheap. Ok spicy finish, but nothing really stands out in this wine.

This wine is the right color, but it smells like rotting garbage. Not TCA, not Brettanomyces. I would rather eat a diaper than taste this wine. Disgusting. Hardly worth 65 cents, let alone the 5.00 plus it usually fetches. I would be embarassed to serve this to my guests. What an insult to Robert Mondavi's legacy.

Thin, flat, can't hang if you have it with food. Very smooth, but very one dimensional.
