We drank this wine over two nights; it seemed as good or better the second. It was very fruit forward, but quite complex. It went fabulously with a southern-Italian pasta-and-eggplant dish. Cheap and cheerful dinner wine.

Heavy fruit forward blend but certainly easy. User friendly Wine for the masses. And We don't mind being part of the masses on Tuesday night. Solid Double Yum for the Tum Tum!

One of those wines that was better on the second night but not so much on the third. The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Orange, and Strawberry Jam. It tastes like Strawberry, and Orange. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium.

I get a weird, almost orange juice-like mouthfeel and acidity on the initial attack, softening to more wine-like notes on the midpalate but with a very odd overall effect and no real structure or finish to speak of. Perhaps best described as "interesting" (or, less charitably, disjointed/confused), this is definitely not my style.

A really nice quaffing wine. Juicy has been the best description and I agree, but with some tannins and a bunch of character this wine manages to separate itself from most of the other >$15 wines. (Doris: really likes this wine (91) )

Got a small glass out of a bottle I'm not sure how long was open but it couldn't have been more than 90 minutes. Juicy raspberry, blueberry, rhubarb, strawberry with slight tannins on the rear.

I kept telling myself "there must be some Barbera in there". Juicy wine with fine tannins. Raspberry, rhubarb, blueberry, green tea and hint of oak. Pleasant quaffer.

Opened , poured into a class, tasting note at hour 3 from that glass. Lighter rim, purple core. Nose shows light blueberry, raspberry, and cedar. Nice and juicy up front, blueberry, strawberry, slight candied, green tea and slight tannins. First bottle, simple juicy quaffer. Like this more than the Meditrina.

Not as good as the evolution white, but still really nice. You can really taste the variety of grapes within the blend.

Juicy quaffer with a little spicy nose and sneaky tannins on the back end. Enjoyable.

Winemaker's dinner with Alex Sokol Blosser. (19 Glas, Stockholm, Sweden): lots of new oak - buttery with cherry dominated palate, also peaches and raspberries - and no tannins.

Got a small taste and didn't take detailed notes. Juicy would be the best word to describe it. Red and blue fruits with little tannins.
