Default homegrown or commercial


In the last year of making mostly fruit wines I have bumped into a few
folks that have the same past time, making wine. This has provided
the oppurtunity to sample -very few- home made grape wines.

I freely admit I'm not an experienced or qualified taster, but the
home made wines seem to be what I would describe as truer to the
grape. They have or retained a grape quality in the finished product.
It's not fruity at all, but it seems they still have 'grapeness' in
the wine. It isn't like grape juice, or juice flavored wines, and is
present in even the driest Cab. Instead I would say the wine reminds
me of the grape. Does that make any sense?

Is this odd, wrong? Should it be there or not, or am I nuts. It
tastes great to me.
