Tried this latest wine from bottom-feeding at TJ's:
1. TraderJoe's Viog PetitReserve MendoCnty (13.9%) C&B by DNAVnyds/Ukiah 2013: Pale gold color; attractive peach/pear/Viog/spicy/floral rather fragrant nose; bit tart/lean light peach/pear/ripe/Viog/floral bit earthy fairly light flavor; med. tart/tangy light peach/pear/Viog/ripe bit earthy finish; plenty of ripe Viog in the nose but rather weak/watery on the palate; probably has been de-alc'd; tastes like cropped at 6-8 tons/acre; a pleasant enough Viog nose but doesn't deliver much on the palate; no bargain at this price. $9.00 (TJ)
