This is a smooth elegant wine with absolutely nothing distinctive going on. If your looking for a non-descriptive wine that will definitely offend no one (although it won’t please anyone either) this is the wine for you. The finish is very short. There’s some fruit flavors, with little to no oak. This wine given how bland it is would go with just about anything. I was underwhelmed as you likely have already gathered Won’t be running out to get more of this one.
