Strangely medicinal in a sweet and chemical kind of way. Not in the vicinity of a cab; more like a syrupy Zin gone too thick and plumb gone slightly off.

At best, slightly over-extracted/over-cooked. At worst, was like a port starting to go bad, but not there yet... Barely varietally correct, no indication of oak. I see a lot of notes indicating the wine was flawed. I am not going to rate this as a flawed wine. If I had to guess, this was an issue with some distributors not storing it well in the summer heat, and in any event it did not fall to the point of it being flawed.

Bennett Lane makes good wine. This isn't one of them. Sweet, fruity, syrupy, and generic.

A real mess. Overextracted, no acidity, no tannins whatsoever. Tastes like a $5 wine

Bad bottle. Stuck fermentation led to fizzy juice down the drain.
