Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Paso Robles Meritage 2023

There is a Trader Joe's Reserve Paso Robles Meritage 2023 ($9.99), and I didn't know what the difference was between that and the Grand Reserve.

Turns out the Grand Reserve was aged in French oak for 22 months, just like the expensive wines (think $60 and up bottles).

This is a Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon (Bordeaux-style) with a good bit of solid age.

Those wines do not sell for $12.99, except at Trader Joe's!
