Community Tasting Note

billwine5 Does not like this wine:

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 - What I thought would be a great Costco purchase for the price point ended up a disappointment. From the hard unstained cork to the tight, hot blend this wine was clearly mass produced for the uneducated wine drinker. While there was good fruit on the nose which suggested promise, this wine started tight and hot and never opened up. The high alcohol acidity makes it hard to pair this wine with many foods. The lack of structure and the alcohol (labeled 13.5% but probably closer to 14.5 or even 15% to the taste) means laying it down for a couple of years likely won't help. In short don't buy this wine.
