Has a light color that is deceiving. It has more body than expected with a soft coating mouth feel. Also more sugar than expected that combines with the mouth feel for a syrupy sensation. There is an off flavor in the aftertaste that I can’t describe. Maybe a medicinal bitter note with a bit of decay. Not horrible but off putting.
Come on guys. This wine is a very good value. You expect complex flavor profiles at this price range? Get serious. This is a very pleasant zin with no real flaws. GREAT VALUE

SALTWINE nailed it. Forward, good fruit, pleasant, but needs more time in the cellar. I think I’ll hold my last bottle another 5 years. Can’t wait…
