Top Notes For
Vinese screwed me with a $175 half-case that included this wine … TWO bottles. I sure hope this wine doesn’t retail for almost $30! I cancelled my membership immediately afterwards. Truth is the wine is decent (but not for $30!), with fruit, acidity, and length. It has no tannins so lacks any bite, and the whole bottle should be consumed right after opening.

Feb 2nd, 2022The taste is pleasant, but maybe a bit sweet. Smell reeks of alcohol, bit of a turnoff

Jan 29th, 2016There's a subtile sweetness in this wine that balanced the tannins and allowed expression of the fruit. However there is a mysterious but identifiable aroma on the front end that slightly degrades the overall pleasant qualities of the wine.
