solomania9's Review: Very dry with bitter tannins. The inkiness isn't as much of a finish as it is an unpleasant aftertaste. Not much I like about this at all.

solomania9's Review: Never had a wine like this before. Very sweet and acidic and has strong flavors of lychee and melon with a prickly acidic finish. More complexity than I was expecting but a little sweet on the finish.

solomania9's Review: Grainy nose that kicks in with cherries after a moment. Reminds me a lot of cherry marinated tobacco from a hookah. Meaty grainy flavor with a steady and strong spicy din that slowly dies down. Really nice.

solomania9's Review: A very interesting pungent aroma. Got my attention right away. Flavor is very mellow and complex - even a little watery and light. Might be a little too refined for my palate, although I appreciate the complexity. Enjoyed the nose more than the flavor.

solomania9's Review: Very drinkable. A little less fruity than some other cali cabs I've tried, perhaps because it's slightly older. A little chalky but that adds to the complexity here. I like.
