Kunin Wines
Pape Star Central Coast Red Rhone Blend
Central Coast, California, USA
Light acidity, medium tannins, and good body. Nice ripe red fruit forward wine with a hint of earth, tea, and tobacco undertones.

Pretty tasty, piquant acidity, a vibrant blend, a little frazzled still

This wine confounds me -- sometimes I love it, sometimes I find issue with it.
Sure it's supposed to be a Chateauneuf-du-Pape inspired wine but man does it taste like a Beaujolais Nouveau to me -- big on fruit right off the bat and barely settles down.
Like I said, I'm of two minds about it. Love Kunin overall so I'm definitely not knocking it, just feel like there's something happening here that I'm not getting.

Started off overly jammy with sweet notes. Left it open overnight and it really settled down. More balanced.

A fantastic stateside taste of the Rhone. Berries and pepper. Light and perfect for summer.
