Variety: Red Sangria
Country of Origin: United States

Vintage Year: N/A

Winery Review: Dusty garnet color. Tropical, sweet aromas and flavors of concord grapes, banana taffy, aromatic bitters, vanilla cream, and peach-pineapple pie with a soft, crisp, moderately sweet light-to-medium body and a smooth, crisp finish with accents of tangerine. A fun n’ fruity sangria to drink now.
Wine Folly: I could not find any dedicated section for Red Sangria/Sangria in the Wine Folly. However, this is a medium sweet wine, which means there are about 21-72 calories per serving, which can be found on page 16. On page 14, I found information about wine bodies. Red Sangria is a red wine, which means that it contains tannins. Also, the sweetness increases the body of wine, which makes sense because this wine is medium sweet (on the sweeter side) but it also tastes of medium tannins, and has medium body. I would say that it is a bit on the acidic side, which contributes to a lighter body, I found this on page 20 of Wine Folly.
My Review: This is the first wine that I consumed & enjoyed on a regular basis for a time. The box of wine was quite inexpensive, it was only $20 for the same amount as four 750ml bottles, so I was able to have it for some time. The box claims that it can last to up to 6 weeks after opening. I did not pair it with food, unfortunately, but it was good without food. At first sniff, it definitely smells fruity and sweet. When I drank it, it had a medium body, and an initially sweet taste that diminished into a sort of dryness. It is overall medium sweet, which I realized when I tried another sweet alcoholic beverage. The flavor is just overall fruity, maybe some oranges, but definitely a mix of many fruits.
