I always like to buy local wines, beers or sakes when I travel, and this one I bought on a recent trip to Biwako Lake in Shiga Prefecture, although to be honest I didn't have very high expectations for it. Least of all because it, like many Japanese red wines, is made with Muscat Bailey A grape, which I'm not a big fan of.Grape : Cabernet Sauvignon Muscat Bailey A

It's a dark, black red wine in the glass with a slightly off vegetative nose.
On the palate it's vegetative with peppers and a hint of sourness.
It was quite smooth, not acidic, with a short, mellow finish.
Unfortunately though the vegetative nose and taste were not too appealing for me.
Looks my expectations were correct.
