  Not familiar with this varietal, but got this in the winery club shipment.
  Smells of "grape." That's it. Grape, and wood. No complexity there. A bit like Welsh's. Just grape.
  It is indeed tannic, but not as much as I might have thought given, well, its name. They're reasonably smooth if a bit lingering. Tastes a bit like zinfandel, actually, but with more rust/iron on the palate.
  Hides its 15% abv well.
  Might be more interesting with age, but to me it's very one dimensional and definitely not value at ~$25.
