Alright, I am not expecting much from this bottle. My neighbor gave it to me and knowing them this bottle had to me no more than $5.00.
Appearance: bright pale yellow
Aroma: tropical, melon like when chilled. When this wine warms up it is cat pee all the way. Sorry, they don’t call it cat pee any more it is called, guava.
Flavors: tropical fruits with a squirt of red grapefruit, apple, melon. Actually, this is not all that bad. Let me call it decent. And, if it is as cheap as I think it is – then, this is a pretty good deal.
Now, when this wine gets warm the flavor changes. There is a tart muddled fruity flavor with a dusty cinnamon note.
Mouthfeel: nice acidity to give you that red grapefruit slightly tart note. Structure seems lacking. The flavors seem muddled and there is a slight mineral watery edge.
I found the wine at the local grocery store for $6.60 a bottle.
On the back of the bottle it reads: “Somewhere near the cool shadows of the laundry room. Past the litter box and between the plastic yard toys. This is your time. Time to enjoy a moment to yourself. A moment without the madness. The dishes can wait. Dinner be damned.”
