Along with its sister Big House Red, this is what I would call a functional wine. It's more interesting than you'd expect for the price, but is best paired with simple fish and chicken dishes. The finish is a little sour for my taste (I prefer a floral undertone). It holds its flavor for two or three days after opening, so for the casual wine drinker it's a good buy.

The nose is a little powerful with petrol vapors. The taste is tart lemon, golden apple, and strong and uninviting.
Tastes like a crappy sauv blanc at times. This is not a wine that you can ease into, it just hits you hard.

Very floral nose w/ toast, marshmallows, figs, and some lime. Lovely nose, very strong and upfront. Initial mouthfeel is thin, but thickens up a *bit* for a more smooth/silky taste. Bitter grapefruit on the finish.
Arghh... the nose on this wine was so enticing, but unfortunately, that is where the fun ended. What could've been!!
