Fruity, soft tannins and a great all around red

Sep 11th, 2024I bought this to put in some pasta sauce I was making, but thought I’d try it before I poured it into the mix. This reminds me of the cheap Concord grape wine that we were able to get as teenagers with our false IDs. And for Concord, grape wine, it would be very good.
Candied cherries on the nose with faint vinegar must. Surprisingly little fruit on the front of the tongue, but the candied cherries return on the mid palate — indeed, the entire tannic structure seems to be based on sweetness and fruit. To a certain extent the slight rawness on the finish balances out the sweetness of this wine. Too bad I didn’t see any two buck Chuck Cab on the shelves of TJ’s. That would’ve gone better in my pasta sauce. Definitely not going to add that a pinch of sugar to the sauce — it will be sweet enough with this wine as it is.

NOSE: mild vinegar, cooked meat … a touch of chili powder.
TASTE: it’s fine - mild cherry and elderberry, kind of dried/stewed. 82.

Slight berry notes, together with a distinct funk that somehow reminds me of seafood, quite dry.

Easy to drink red wine. Doesn’t linger on the tongue.
