ccarpita's Review:

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

ccarpita's Review:

Nice kind of chocolaty/coconut/buttery texture, but the flavors are strangely juxtaposed with the acids, so it doesn't feel cohesive to me.

ccarpita's Review:

Big smoky flavors with sharp cherry and wood notes and a big long tannic backbone, and a satisfying finish.

ccarpita's Review:

Wonderful herbal and citric aroma, with hints of basil and rosemary, lush pineapple flavors without too much acidity, really a pitch-perfect backbone. Mildly buttery finish.

ccarpita's Review:

Enlightened well balanced acids with a subtle melony and pineapple fruits, and a bubblegum finish. Fun to drink by itself.

ccarpita's Review:

Very dry and witty, it bristles with confidence and leaves your tongue lashing for more. The tannins are strong and there is much complexity on the palate, with honey, floral, and herbal notes.

ccarpita's Review:

Tastes like you would imagine, a violet-hued wrangler of large cattle. It's a real fruity time on the good times ranch.

ccarpita's Review:

Full disclosure: I love this style of wine. Very grassy and dirty, like if you took a rake to your flower garden and drank what came out. It's also a little bit smokey and has strong-but-gentle tannins to center your palate.

ccarpita's Review:

Kind of a lush musky drink with well established fruit and a crisp citric bite. Very enjoyable to drink on its own.

ccarpita's Review:

Very sweet and hot, strong aromas of rum, but not too alcoholic to enjoy, with notes of fruit, wood, and lavender.
