ccarpita's Review:

I didn't enjoy it much personally, as I prefer stronger wines, but the wine has a lot of character and complex flavors. Nice tartness with raspberry and blueberry notes, a touch of sweetness, not very tannic.

ccarpita's Review:

Very vegetative, herbal, and tea-like qualities on the nose, with a delicate and complex mouth. I wouldn't want to drink a lot of it, but for one glass it's very nice. Definitely a thinker instead of a doer.

ccarpita's Review:

Really bold and powerful with a soft touch, butteriness and mild acids are in perfect balance, the fruits are melonous and tropical. Would go great with couscous and salmon.

ccarpita's Review:

A little bit sharp with the acids, but there are some really interesting fruit and herbal notes just under the surface, with great tobacco and chocolate notes. I get basil, rosemary, and apple on the mouth.

ccarpita's Review:

Rich vanilla oak texture without overdoing it, a little bit of sweetness with dark berry notes. Black pepper and a hint of clove and mint, with some chocolate and tobacco.

ccarpita's Review:

This wine has a lot of fun peachy flavors with a good acidic backbone. There's a decent amount of sugar to quench the tooth. I could drink half a pitcher of this stuff easily.

ccarpita's Review:

Like a big pile of rusty nails with a slap of scathing tartness in the face, it's really something awesome. Hints of smoked deli meats.

ccarpita's Review:

Popcorn-like and bestows a visceral joy like a beef patty at a delicatessen. Some interesting fruits like pear and pomegranate, with a buttery polish. This wine has earned its place in the exclusive league of the Yummers collection.

ccarpita's Review:

Really soft and buttery texture, with essences of caramel and toffee. Just a little too rich for me, but I appreciate the complexity and acidity.

ccarpita's Review:

Solid floral nose with mild fungus in the woodshed, the acidity is perfect and creates a long impression. Good bubbles.
