Had one more of these lying around. Opened to use as cooking wine in a risotto. That's all it's good for. Tried a few sips and just not at all pleasant. Bitter/sour. I'm very open minded when it comes to value SB, but this was a non starter. Do not buy.

I've been buying this as a low cost cooking wine for a few years. In the past it was Lake County fruit and had some good SB personality. This new vintage tastes so weak, almost like water with a lemon tossed in. While only $7, I'll look elsewhere in the future. Not flawed, just devoid of character.

I'm seeing previous bottlings being slayed but I'm finding nothing offensive here. Simple and a little hot but an easy to drink SB. Melon and tropical fruit, decent acidity and length.

I enjoyed this wine with pork scallopini. The wine has a nice mineral flavor. I would buy this again.
