Not a fan of this one. First of all, it's fizzy--I'm not digging that. Secondly, there just isn't that much interesting going on with the flavor; it's just there, tastes like grapes.

Didn't do much for me at first - thin nose and thin taste. Breathing helped, and it tasted great with a peppery tomato/pork dish. The better-breathed nose had notes of sweet tobacco, leather and fennel; the taste had decent acidity and a little tannin. Still kind of thin and light. Decent value from Trader Joe's.

This one was interesting. When I first opened it and poured a glass, there were little to no aromas and taste. I decanted for an hour or so and a little came out but I mean very little. After a few more hours there is either a mix a cherry and tobacco, or funk. This just is not a very well made wine, very little flavor that does nothing for me. Also, it is very acidic ans astringent.
