Pure Love Wines 2005 Layer Cake

I have to say, after all the hype surrounding this wine, I came away pretty unimpressed… It’s just too much for me… Too sweet upfront on the palate (kind of an artificial blueberry thing), kind of an awkward sour, flabby mid-palate, and then finally way too much alcohol in the finish.

Really not my cup of tea.

I paired this with a red pepper marinara I had made, and that was a pretty bad match. Outside of something crazy sweet like BBQ, I‘d be hard pressed on what to have with it.
