Region: Monterey, CA
This smooth, full wine smelled of pipe tobacco and curry leaves. It tasted of plum with a bite. The tobacco was also present while sipping. Strange, but surprisingly appealing as there was also a note of Dijon mustard. Overall, a pleasant wine.

I’ve been wine tasting for years now, but I like to think I approach it from the average consumer’s perspective. I believe the average consumer can appreciate when a cabernet franc boasts deep flavors or that first effervescent sip of vinho verde conjures up delightful summertime memories. But more often than not, they just want an affordable glass of wine that tastes delicious while lounging by the TV.
