ccarpita's Review:

I like this wine a lot, it brings out a lot of great citrus and smokey flavors without being too overpowering.

ccarpita's Review:

Crisp and refreshing tartness with tropical fruits and grapefruit gives way to buttery undertones and very mild oak, the balance is very good and the wine is enjoyable.

ccarpita's Review:

Some like it hot and spicy, and I find myself in that crowd sometimes. The oak and tannins are very subtle in this wine, but the citrus and alcohol speaks loud and clear. Rich in dark berry flavors, mild vanilla, and paprika. A bit too sweet.

ccarpita's Review:

In its High School yearbook, this wine was voted most likely to become Paul Newman's Butter Boom popcorn. There are some redeeming qualities, and the aroma is strong and pleasant, the way popcorn is. Recommend pairing with Schindler's list or The Fisher King.

ccarpita's Review:

Very floral and herbal on the nose, with a light acidic bite and modest sweetness that makes it very agreeable to the palate. Conjures up figs, cinnamon, almonds, nutmeg, beets, and potatoes, with some peach and cantaloupe fruitiness on the release.

ccarpita's Review:

Really enjoyable fruit aromas and flavors do not overpower the senses, the relatively low residual sugar plays off well against the mild acidity and herbal/floral qualities of the wine. Mango and papaya fruits with kiwi and strawberries dance on the tongue, and a backbone of cocoa butter keeps it together.

ccarpita's Review:

Stewed tomato and basil on the nose with apple, wholesome grainy mouth with a long finish.

ccarpita's Review:

Ripe fruit, perfect amount of heat, spicy and sweet like chinese food. The body is strong and smooth, and the finish is long. Very satisfying.

ccarpita's Review:

Delicate mouthfeel with grapefruit, mango, and peach flavors, very smooth and long-lasting, not sweet, and not too acidic.

ccarpita's Review:

Minerally and oily, with tart pineapple and grapefruit flavors. Refreshing and not too sweet.
