Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - When it was first opened, this wine was a little harsh and hot, but it came around after about an hour and a half. It certainly wasn't what I expected; as many others have commented, there's a definite sweetness here, especially on the finish. That being said, I thought this was a pretty good everyday type of wine. It's the sort of stuff you might serve to your friends who don't usually drink wine. The color is a medium red; the nose is very fruity, with aromas of black cherries and raspberries. Extremely fruity on the palate, without much acidity, which tends to exaggerate the sweetness; I don't think there's really a lot of residual sugar. It's not really cloying, just a bit to the off-dry side of the spectrum. I had this with a hamburger, and it went down well. Very inexpensive, and better than many wines in its class. Not for keeping!
