Community Tasting Note

  • Ellen5181 Does not like this wine: 70 points

    February 18, 2015 - Medium purple color. Like the prior reviewer, I do get ripe blueberries on the nose. A nice surprise in dead of winter. Smells fresh but a bit medium minus on nose.

    On palette, a lot stronger than I expected based upon nose, which suggested something better. I feel alcohol burn, and taste more sour and bitter than something fruit specific. I'm actually going to say the fruit might not have been ripe enough.

    Personally, don't feel the wine is balanced. The packaging was kind of cool but wouldn't buy again.

    Maybe as the bottle warms up it'll taste more pleasant??
