A bit tart upon opening. Lots of minerals is an apt description. Having read the other reviews I decanted the bottle and let it stand for a few hours before we drank it during dinner. It was much more drinkable at that point. Opened up, dry, a bit tannic, with subtle berry flavors. Not worth $20, but not bad for a $10-12 bottle.
