Appearance: Deep red
Nose: Citrus aroma, spicy & strong
Taste: Way too strong! Way too hot!
Finish: Bitter; it has a bite that lingers
Overall Impression: This wine is dubbed as the people of Evanston, IL favorite. I have some questions for the people of Evanston and that's...WHY? May make for a good sangria but alone, it's not good. It was just too strong and too much. I may revisit this wine and see what would happen if I let it breathe a little more.
