Not sure it’s compensation for the sucky day but it’s still pretty good

The Rex Goliath Shiraz
Price
$5.69. FIVE SIX NINE. (We don't live in a state with three-buck chuck, so this is as good as it gets.)
Impressions
The booty call of wines. A wine you return to again and again, with no strings attached. It's late at night, you've tapped all your other resources, and you're a little drunk already. This wine holds no judgments, makes no assumptions. Available everywhere.
Flavor profile
"An undercurrent of cheap wine, but with a spicy flavor!"
"Yeah, peppery, or something!"
"But you can't drink it too fast..."
"Faux-complex."
"Totally drinkable."
Bouquet
It kinda smells like tapenade BUT WE CAN FORGIVE THAT
Appearance
Looks good on your shelf! Doesn't have the tacky label of Barefoot or Sutter Home, god bless them.
Pairs well with
Miller High Life and a nice crockpot stew
There was this Rex-Goliath wine on sale at my favorite liquor store and the back of the bottle tells the story of the circus attraction "Rex Goliath" the rooster from the turn of the century.

Rex-Goliath Cabernet Sauvignon vintage not listed (purchased 2013) Chile
Soft and subtle actually, to start— like waking up in a hammock in a back yard on a warm day with a perfect breeze in the trees overhead… and not quite remembering where you are or why you’re there or what day it is, or even who you are… but you are certain about the overwhelmingly lovely scent of the fresh plums on the tree that are wafting in the heat of the sun, the faint damp earth beneath you, rapturous jasmine flowers flooding your senses, and sounds of birds twittering, insects humming and leaves rustling.
AMNESIA, NOSTALGIA, CHILDHOOD

Just opened a bottle of rex.. think my nose had an orgasm!
Budget Wine Review | Rex Goliath Chardonnay
It has a bold, punchy flavor with a smooth, clean aftertaste. It invites me back for another sip again and again.
-Bryan Murray, Budget Sommelier
That's great, Bryan. Unfortunately, I don't agree. I'm not sure who gave this wine THIRTY GOLD MEDALS, but I think it smells like poop. The taste is flat -- with infusions of stale metal. The carbonation level falls somewhere between flat club soda and Welch's Grape Juice. It's super tart. Not crisp. Not the least bit fruity. I think I like chardonnay less and less. It burns a bit going down, but whatever at least there's alcohol in it.
Now if you will excuse me, I'll return my attention back to Chevy Chase who's just electrocuted a fluffy white cat.
