Wine Terminology: Fruit Forward

Definition: A description people can give to a wine when they are describing its flavor. It refers to a wine that has an immediate strong fruit flavor upon taking a sip, often followed by a different aftertaste. All reds can be described as being "fruit forward" although wines from the US, Australia, and New Zealand tend to be more so than European wines.
Use it in a sentence: After taking your first sip, "Wow, this wine is very fruit forward."
