Appearance: Pours a very dark, hazy pink, almost like a pink lemonade color, but darker. A little bit of effervescence. A little bit of leg going on, and very slow to move down the side of the glass.
Aroma: I get a little bit of red fruit, but also a definite tartness, and a hint of alcohol that surprised me for a 5% wine.
Mouthfeel: Light while you're drinking it, but definitely leaves some syrupy body behind.
Flavors: Sweet. I get a little peach, raspberry, etc. Almost like a peach melba flavor going on. A touch of strawberries, and definitely a bit of acidity up front as well, although it finishes very sweet, almost like strawberry syrup (think Nesquik).
Overall: Pretty much what you'd expect for a $5ish, 5% ABV pink wine. A little too sweet for everyday drinking, or drinking with food. Not very refined or delicate. But, not terrible either. And at $5 and 5%, this is a pretty drinkable treat for a hot, outdoor drinking session in the sun. More like dessert or candy than wine, though.
