What does Target's new wine taste like?

Find out if the $5 bottles are wine lover approved!

In late August Target introduced California Roots, a line of $5 bottles of wine, and they're finally available. Cosmopolitan's Danielle Tullo taste tested all of them, and found you get more than your money's worth. The line, which includes a red blend, cabernet, pinot grigio, chardonnay, and moscato, doesn't disappoint. It's hard to believe that they're all only $5.Here they are, ranked by deliciousness, plus what vino's should know about each bottle:1. Red Blend One sip of this red blend, and you'll be thinking, There's no way this is only $5. It's smooth with cherry notes and a hint of spice. Fair warning: This is a very dark red that stains teeth easily. 2. CabernetThis cabernet is very juicy with a flavor profile of cherry, vanilla, and toasted oak. It tastes like a cozy fall night — and also like an expensive wine you would only drink if you were out to a fancy dinner. 3. ChardonnayThis traditional California chardonnay has a crisp and oaky finish. Its aroma is filled with creamy peaches, fruit, and apples. 4. Moscato This moscato is sweet but not overbearing and has a delicious aroma of creamy peach and melon flavors. 5. Pinot GrigioThe California Roots pinot grigio tasted sweeter than the brand's moscato, so if you like sweet, grab a bottle of this. It's fruity with pear and peach aromas.
