SPHERE (Paso Robles) [California AVA] "RED WINE" 2021Garnet hue with what looks like "bricking" already. A pleasant fruity bouquet of mixed fruit, consisting of red berries, cherry, and warm mulled wine.
Palate--Lively acidity, a confusing of a melange of red fruits and spices with a touch of a bitter finish.
OK--First this is the objective review regardless of price etc. It is not a great wine to be sure and it is not in some ways even a good wine. BUT--There are a zillion wines "out there" (many which have an animal on the label (because animals sell...) which are twice the price of this wine and are absolutely "manufactured" plonk. This is a genuine effort made from an amalgam of fruit from all over the region og the Paso Robles AVA (American Viticultural Area) which has some gravitas!
So here is the get a grip factor: This wine is $5! Read that again 5 bucks! and for that you get an honest wine, that will be fine with crackers and a host of stronger cheeses and a tomato based pasta dish and on and on. Serve it with a bit of a chill on it and it will be even better. For $5, at Trader Joe's RAISE A GLASS!
