Comments:I’m very impressed. I really thought when I opened it that this was a $9.99 bottle but I was completely wrong. I guess you can tell my tastes! If this smooth, fruity robust taste is typical in the “maritage” blends from Martin Ray then I’ll be buying much more of it. I’m a little disappointed at the price as I was hoping to add one to the $11 and under list but only for that reason. The taste of this wine is “approachable” and can appeal to many simply because it’s not overpowering and probably won’t offend anyone. Nice Job Martin Ray!
