ccarpita's Review:

Lots of spice, cinnamon, and almonds in the glass, kind of a christmas-like wine. Strong body with rich tannins, and a little too much acidity.

ccarpita's Review:

Aromas of wet dog, complimented by an attack of cider, copper, bitterness, and despair, with hints of broken promises and shattered dreams on the release.

ccarpita's Review:

Flavors of sauteed mushrooms, vegetables, lemongrass, very crisp with mild sweetness, this wine maintains a strong body throughout and delivers savory goodness.

ccarpita's Review:

Subdued attack, with heat and spiciness on the release. Pointed citrus tartness with pineapple, lemon, orange, and grapefruit. Feels like it's missing some body, but it brings a few interesting flavors to the senses.

ccarpita's Review:

Lots of crisp notes of cucumber and nuts, especially almonds, a dab of sweetness rounds out the rich and complex body, along with minerally citrus flavors, grassiness, peach, and melon.

ccarpita's Review:

Nuts and cinnamon spices, green onion, the creaminess and sharpness of goat cheese, good solid body holds it together.

ccarpita's Review:

A bit of banana and walnuts, laden with paprika. Kind of spicy and tannic on the attack, makes for a very enjoyable gulp. Couldn't drink a lot of it though.

ccarpita's Review:

Nice, dry fruity texture with notes of lemon, pepper, orange, strawberries, and pecan. Really enjoyable on the palate, with it's light complexity and refreshing qualities. Would go well with mild cheeses or ceviche.

ccarpita's Review:

Buttery like Red Lobster, but less of a rip-off. I like the woody notes and the general fullness of the taste.
