Tasting #53 Red

Name: La Sera Red Malvasia
Grape: Malvasia
Color: red
Smell: sweet, fruity, blueberry yogurt
Taste: super sweet, the nose was bigger than the bite, not much flavor
Dryness/Sweetness: very sweet
Food: just tasting
Country/Region: Imported from Italy – Vienna, VA

Alcohol Content: 5.5%
How much? $13.95
Would you drink it again? Never again - $14 for sugar water, I’ll pass

Extra thoughts? Chateau Morrisette has some very sweet, simple wines. But this is like a watered down version of those.

Other reviews:
From the Vintage Cellar:
“A specialty of Italy’s piedmont region, Red Malvasia di Casorzo is fragrant and fruity , moderately sweet wine. It has strawberry and fresh grape flavors, with a zesty frizzante. It is low in alcohol and best served slightly chilled. Enjoy as an aperitif, matched with spicy barbeque or Oriental dishes. It is also excellent with rich chocolate cake or a fruity sorbet.”

My rating scale works as such:
1. Never Again
2. If someone else bought it
3. I'd keep it in mind
4. At least one more time
5. Going to get another bottle right NOW!
