This feels like Valpolicella, like, literally someone dried out a bunch of grapes to raisins, ground them all up and added alcohol. Grainy and sicky-ripe, the fruit a chubby muss piled on gritty muck masquerading as structure. I suppose if you squint real hard you could call it “rustic”, add an asterisk for extreme youth, and rejoice in the low price, but it just doesn’t SMELL good. Bigger-is-Better-Bro would be all over this, I mean seriously: with a California red blend label I could sell END-CAPS. Would be fun to try.
