What reviewers say
“worth the upgrade from their entry level Merlot. 2018 off the shelf for $25. i’ll be getting at least 3 more to share w friends and family. Sean’s scale ratings: 3 stars I may drink it again, but will save money for others. 3.5 stars = I’d buy it again. 4 stars = Buy at least 3 more bottles. 4.5 stars buy 6+ maybe even make it a regular house wine. 5 stars = Buy as much as possible!”
