Very smooth, with no tannin and very low acid present. Very pleasant slight cocoa in the finish. Round plum/cherry taste, but flavor is not overpowering. The body is light/medium. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium.

Paired it unusually with a panko crusted tilapia. Worked fairly well. This wine did so much better after an hour or so in the glass. At first, it was sharp and almost grape-y. It settled down and earned marks in the high 80s. For the price, I'd make a different choice, though

Woody nose - in excess. A small hint of pinot hoping to escape from the forest of peppered wood. A very distant relative of a burgundy.
