What reviewers say
“This bottle was gifted to me so I decided to include this with our office lunch wine inventory. This red blend is comprised of merlot, PV, malbec & cab sauv. Aged in French oak. 14.4% ABV. Medium plus body, cherry, plum, blackberry, chocolate and some earthiness to it. Medium and pleasant finish. This is definitely not for aging in your cellar but approachable and on the higher end price wise of what I would consider a daily drinker. 🍷🍷🇺🇸”

Summary
Acclaimed Red is a red from Napa Valley, the United States, blended from Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $19.95, which puts the bottle in the $15–30 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 461 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 470 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Acclaimed Red lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 461.
