Personal Review: My poorest decision of last Wednesday is that I decided to buy the cheapest bottle of wine that I could find at 711. Even though this bottle was only $4.99 plus tax, I would not purchase it again. It lacked any sort of powering flavor to me. In the scent and initial taste I got some pear and then tasted a little bit of oak I believe. It quickly began just tasting watery and depressed, lacking any real body or flavor. The color was very clear and unconvincing. I felt like I was drinking the Keystone Light of wines. I wasn't surprised under further inspection to find out that 711 actually produces this wine themselves to compete with Barefoot wine buyers.
Critic Review: "The Yosemite had more off-tastes than some of the Trader Joe Two Buck Chucks I’ve tried, which are just thin and watery as opposed to off-putting. It didn’t seem as well done as Walmart’s $3 wine, but I haven’t tasted that one in almost two years. And I’ve had some $6 wines, like Barefoot, which aren’t appreciably better than any of these." - Wine Curmudgeon
