A "90," and a really interesting "90." This is certainly worth your $20-25, and will accompany dinner really well, particularly meat dishes. It's complex, with deep strawberry undertones and some intriguing floral notes. Good length. Somewhat metallic tannins at this point, and after an hour open, there's this strange, plastic taste at the finish. That's subsided by later in the evening. Easy to sip. My impression is that this wine isn't forged by science, but I had that feeling for a moment, a sugary questionmark, that subsided relatively quickly. Would definitely buy again for the price.

Different structure than a typical Napa can, but very enjoyable as a week night drink.
