If you like the taste of drinking petrol (gasoline) –
then this wine is for you! Even the
“bouquet” smells of gas. Bleck! The particular bottle we have is “Lot #27” –
I am guessing that is a CAR LOT from the taste of things…

Price - ??? (I do not have the receipt for this – we bought
it and brought it out of town with us – but looking around online it looks like
we wasted $12.99 on this! That is not
cheap for a wine at Trader Joe’s – I sort of wish I hadn’t looked at
prices! We have half a bottle sitting here
that we do not want to drink. Any amount
we spent on it was too much.)
Rating – ½ star
P.S. – It could be that we just got a bad bottle… In looking online after writing this review, I
found a couple of sites that praise this wine (note: we do not research wine before we buy it – I mean,
we TASTE IT if Trader Joe’s is doing a tasting J,
but we are not the types to go online and dig up info on a wine before we buy
it. I just happened across this and
thought it only fair to share another perspective: http://www.reversewinesnob.com/2014/05/trader-joes-grand-reserve-napa-valley-meritage.html
