So, they say that this wine gets 89 points, but this wine falls very short in my book.  It's main character is petrol (oil) and it's a little too slimy on the tongue.  You do get some citrus and acidity, but it is covered up too much by the petrol.  They are correct on the back that you do get wet stones, but then again, who wants to suck on a wet stone?

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
