Sorry to say that a $16 dollar bottle of wine should not taste this bad. Even if it was on sale for $10 bucks it tastes more like a five dollar bottle.. Only a step up from the chuck, and not sure i would want to even cook with it. A good introduction bottle if youve never had wine before, but i will never buy this one again. Sorry that Kendall-jackson has to ruin the brand name by producing products such as this.
