I have a lot of problems with this wine. It's called Integrite, as a French translation for Integrity. And yet there's no appellation information on the front or back labels. Where does this wine come from? There's no grape information on the labels. What is this wine made of? And this wine is specifically labeled Non-Vintage. What years were whatever grapes in this wine grown?

What makes wine a wonderful experience is because for a moment it connects you to a particular time and place - to a specific grape that was grown in a specific vineyard that received specific weather in a specific year and was produced by a specific person or group of people. And when you taste a wine with all of those specifics in place, you feel as one with that place and those people and that wine.

Sure, this particular wine tastes decent, with a ripe black cherry and black raspberry, with subtle hints of mocha, autumn spices and vanilla. However, Integrity is exactly what this wine is sorely lacking.
