My Rating: Yuck
I did not enjoy anything about this wine. We tried it first with pasta then with grilled sausage. It didn’t work in either case. We then tried pairing it with a few cheeses and still no match.
In a nutshell, the wine had a tight, uninteresting nose and a terrible flavor profile. It was way too tannic up front, which obscured what little fruit it had hiding in the background. It finished with a sour and basically disagreeable aftertaste. Bleh!
Enough said.
