Unfortunately a disappointing effort from a wine whose 2012 vintage made an impact on me at a large tasting. There is some nice fruit and Chinese spice on the nose, but there is also alcohol, and the palate has little to no structure to speak of. Even just a bit of acid or tannin would make this a much more enjoyable bottle.

Fat... Flabby. The flavor profile is nice, but it doesn't all come together.

Light and sweet. Low tannins. Smooth finish. Not tart or stringent.

This one was not bad either alcohol higher at 14%+ but this was not a CA fruit bomb. Dark berry driven good acidity a nice one.
