    I have loved every bottle that Vinesse has sent me--except this one. Way too tight, may be good in a few years, but it was just too hard to drink.

    Definitely jammy with berry and cocoa taste and aroma. An excellent varietal. Remember to let it breath about 20 minutes to bring out it's best. I'm really new to red wines and I'm hard to please with reds, but this wine is an exception with me!

    Very delicious when first opened. Not so good after 90 minutes. And the next day, even though "vacu-vin'ed" over night, it was not very good at all.

    I was pleasently surprised at the quality of this wine. It was light but not overly sweet. As well as a slight hint of oak. I would definatly purchase this wine on my own.

    I already went online a few weeks ago & rated this. This was one of the most vile things I have ever tasted; it was like vinegar. I can generally get anything down, but this was foul.

    not bad, but I am trying to match it to your "Bangin Red" and it isn't as close as Id like it to be. But it is good.

    Truley a formula made in heaven. the 5-0 designation in refference to the five virietals incorporated to concoct this delightful wine is a tribute to the skill and knowledge of the vintner. It will go on my reorder list and I look foward to enjoying it again. It pairs well with Italian dishes, use your imagination. You cant go wrong.
