This wine is a little wierd and I am not sure if I like it or do not that is why I say neutral. There is some medicinal smell and taste to this wine. I think this is making it not as enjoyable as it could be. This could need some time to open up.

Nice nose of cassis and cherry. On the palate, a disappointment from what the nose promised. Did not get a really good balance as it opened up and the finish was not long enough to be memorable. My rating was persuade by the nose.

Ruby-red. Inviting nose of cassis and basil/oregano. Bountiful flavors of cherry, blackberry, and cassis. Some more of the Italian herbs, a hint of mint as well. Cedary tannins on the finish. Moderate-body, moderate-acidity wine with good balance. Long finish.
Good pairing for burgers and other informal, lighter meals.

nose is light and taste matches -- not a good buy at $12.99. positive points are it fairly soft at first with a minor complexity
