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.

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

There'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.
