I don't honestly recall how it was that I bought this wine. It might have been just a choice I spontaneously made when shopping at Suburban, or I read one of the cards that recommended it, or if my wife or I tasted it at a Saturday event there. But, having it at home with dinner gave me an opportunity to better know what this wine's all about. At the price, I'd like to say something like, "I detected notes of black cherry," or "it accompanied my dinner very well," but, I can't. I can honestly say that other than a general "winey" taste, it offered nothing more than a strong background of what I can only describe as "salt water." Awful wine.
