FRE Red Blend

Brand: FRE

Category: Wine / Red Blend

Rating: 3.6 out of 5

A sophisticated, alcohol-removed California red blend featuring a deep ruby color, ripe black cherry aromas, and a smooth, smoky finish.

I'd give FRE Red Blend a 3.6 out of 5 because it's a basic budget substitute for when you need a simple alcohol-removed red for dinner. I noticed a pretty odd, off-putting taste with the very first sip, though the profile eventually settles into notes of black cherry, grape, and smoke. It's much thinner and more watery than a traditional Red Blend, so it feels more like a light fruit drink than a full-bodied wine. I'd suggest chilling it and serving it with a simple pasta if you just need something to sip on a weeknight.
