Despite the price and fancy blending, this one is not very enjoyable. It possesses a tiny heart of rich flavor, but it remains resolutely tiny. That kernel of joy is overwhelmed by a dark, chalky dryness.
While bitterness and greenness are low, they combine with the chalkiness to dominate the palate. And, as you drink it, this wine becomes more and more sour. Avoid.
