While not even close to the biggest fan of this style of wine; but here I have to give kudos to winemaker Yvonne Irving here, who insisted I might actually enjoy her version (trust me, I hear that a lot). I took quite a few sips and even drank half a glass moving from "not terrible" through "I don't hate that" to an actual tasting note of tannins with a note of green olive and fresh grapefruit ... Still not my style of wine, but certainly far from the worst one I've had. Price: $34.95 - Rating: *** ½
