What a foul wine! It simply reeks (I believe it's mercaptans). Not as bad on the palate, though it comes across as a bit sweet and cloying. Will try to return.

13% abv. Orangey-coral color. Fragrance and flavors of bright red fruits--watermelon, pomegranate, and not-quite-ripe strawberry. It also has a note of pepper or ginger spices. Nice acidic touch that refreshes the palate and invites further sipping. Not a bad pairing with veal piccata. I liked it better than the 2011 version which I tried at a Vino Volo in Detroit last August and found rather austere. This was a fun wine and one I might include in a future church fundraiser. I paid $15.99 for it.

Lots of ripe and sour cherry on the nose and palate. Firms up on the finish with good acidity. Simple.
