  Horrible, the wine is sour and tastes bad. I bought several cases of Sunce wine and at least half of it is bad. I would not recommend this wine

  2012 Sunce Alicante Bouschet, Dempel Vineyard, Mendocino Count
  
  Alc 13.5%
  
  Ok, poured a 2 oz serving at room temp, recorked, and placed in fridge for later today. Yes, I am a true warrior before work but I owe it to the community!
  
  Brief notes:
  
  C: deep garnet red. Light legs
  
  A: raspberry, cinnamon, nutmeg
  
  T: soft tannins, no detectable alcohol, a bit sour on the back end...like a sour raspberry? Very thin
  
  I will let it ait in the fridge for later but see potential...early assessment is tha it is more Old World in style vs New...
  
  I would guess $25-$30 at winery and would consider at $18 delivered (i have not checked prices
  
  EDIT: on my work to work and after more consideration it is not sour but rather tart and it is not raspberry I tasted but closer to pomegranate or cranberries...a well made wine imo though jury still out if my cup of tea...
  
  EDIT 2: 6 barrels produced (150 cases) which makes it more enticing to me and may be some of you out there who look at these things...
