I remember the first Frei Bros I tasted, when the program first rolled out.  Gallo’s Sonoma project.  And the benchmark: Gallo Signature Sonoma Cabernet, which was a 60$ wine at the time.  Kinda yummy, easy wines with just the right balance of early appeal and possible structure.  Mediocre+ and this one is no different.  A passable young wine which has turned into a passable–and boring ‘older’ wine.  No flaws, but nothing interesting.  Just safe.  One of many examples of a well-aged cheap wine.
