Community Tasting Note

jonahfactor Does not like this wine:
October 15, 2021 - What has happened to this offering? Years ago it was an interesting weeknight wine made from well-sourced grapes. Today it tastes simple and diluted. Needs more Syrah to give it some grip and deeper notes on the palate. All that’s left in the bottle is raspberry juice. Pass.

(Check wine-searcher’s Vendors & Reviews pgs for “pro” input, Saratoga Wine Exchange likely being a good source.)] 😉
