As far as the AutoMoto brand is concerned, perhaps the worst of the rest. A not very drinkable Chard. No real off notes but a very bland attempt. Their Cab is probably their best effort IMHO.

It's a clear, bright medium colored straw-yellow wine with no structure to it. I was surprised by how deep the color was, and was hoping for more, but as it turns out I was rather disappointed as there was no nose for this wine and even little else for your taste buds. Not especially dry, a short finish if there was one at all and and I'll give no rating on it's balance. In short a wine not for either drinking or dinner. There is some sweetness to the wine but little else for your taste buds. In retrospect, it's perhaps because, although the bottle didn't say, that the wine hasn't had any time in oak. Which might at least explain some of the problem.
