Tasted pretty good for an undefined blend, easy to drink. Best after an hour in decanter, began to fade and get tart at 90 minutes. Decent value if you don't expect much, but not a buyer.

I guess I was becoming too optimistic about this wine. This is the least interesting vintage of Pessimist I’ve tasted. Though it’s always a "porch pounder"/party wine, the 2022 isn't as entertaining. The Petite Sirah doesn’t assert itself like usual; instead the Zinfandel dominates in this banal fruit bomb. Maybe time will help, but I always thought these bottles were meant to drink upon release.

Easy to drink, a little flat. Not very exciting.
