Woman would love this wine due to limited acidity and sweet and gentle tannins with vanilla profile in the mouth. For me I used to like it more than 10 years ago. I remember when I first tasted Californian wines in 2000 in Corinthia Towers hotel, I was amazed of the taste and different profile from Moravian reds. Now growing older I am not that huge fan of it unless it is not base Californian red but something more solid:-)
