Our review:

Oh, my, gawd. For a six dollar wine (even a 10 dollar one) this wine really knocked our socks off. But for us, it’s all the stuff we like: zinfandel, petite syrah, malbec in a strong, flavorful mouthful of yum. We had it with salmon, which may not have been the best choice, but neither the fish nor the wine seemed to care. We shall buy more of this.
