Once I got it home... ew... I'm sorry. My taste in wines is definitely focused upon the well regulated and consistently delicious French, Italian, and Spanish regions and wine makers, all of whom do wonders for less than $10 a bottle, often for less than $6 a bottle. Read Jason's well written blog posting (seriously well written, not sarcastically), and then, project\imagine the opposite of it, and that was my bottle. "smooth tannins" should not make one wince. "subtle sweetness" should not taste like berry flavored solvent. "let it breath 15 to 30 minutes" well, the first glass, the first day, I choked down. The 2nd glass, the 2nd day, much worse. The third glass, I poured JUST a sip... and then spit it out into the sink.
But... I am such a cheap bastard, I didn't want to just pour the rest of the 1/2 bottle down the drain, so a thought occurred to me... but that is the next posting! =)
