barri0s1872's Review:

A pretty straightforward gewurztraminer, all the typical notes on the nose, a little spice in the palate but lighter than i like.

barri0s1872's Review:

this was a great find; the nose changes from fresh white fruits like apples and pears not very different than what a nice Riesling might smell like and changes into a slightly flinty-chalky-ocean fresh seashell note, the mouthfeel is soft, vivacious, and fresh with just the right amount of acidity at the back end. YUM!

barri0s1872's Review:

a really lovely red everyday wine. lots of dark, rustic cherry fruit, balanced medium body, and soft tannins.

barri0s1872's Review:

a lovely smoky, chalky, dried apricot and peaches on the nose wine; great crisp acidity paired with rambunctious juiciness.

barri0s1872's Review:

fresh dark berries and cherries on the nose, light bodied, balanced tannins.

barri0s1872's Review:

A really nice, refreshingly light white. The nose is full of cucumber and melon and a soft on the palate.

barri0s1872's Review:

This was okay, of the beaujolais i've had so far this was one of the better ones; the nose is full of red apple core, deep raspberries, and dark cherries; the mouth-feel is light but with some backbone to it, though i think there is a bit of sharp acidity or sourness, i can't quite pinpoint it far after drinking it. Later on it seems to fall apart a bit, getting darker, a little smoky even.

barri0s1872's Review:

Not too surprising actually; has a nice, roundish, dark fruit laden body to it, the nose is full of black olives and currant, and maybe that's what turned me off. It seemed to be the only thing being offered.
