solomania9's Review:

A very interesting Chard. Half light and crisp type, and half nutty caramel toasted type. The nose is citrusy and light with an almost minty quality, and in the mouth it's crisp and nutty with a light malty caramel finish. It's also got a tiny bit of black licorice which is surprising but works well. Pretty good, especially for the price.

Super oaky toasty bready nose. Bakery mouthfeel with lots of soft bruised fruit but a decent amount of acidity to boot. Grainy creamy finish. A fun chard.

solomania9's Review:

The casual wine drinker in me likes the spicy nose and the full-bodied bright fruit flavors and oak. But the wine snob in me just wants to scream OAK CHIPS AND SUGAR! But I shouldn't expect more at this price anyhow.

solomania9's Review:

Definitely getting paint on the nose. There's some cherry fruit here but those chemical overtones are very distracting for me. Grainy finish - that is, what didn't get poured down the sink.

solomania9's Review:

Smells of must and hard water. A full-bodied pinot with the requisite cherries and cola - finishes with a spicy boom.

solomania9's Review:

Solid bright grainy nose. Light in the mouth with an present but understated underlying acidity. Departs slowly and complexly with tea flavors and tarry cherries.

solomania9's Review:

Grainy cherries on the nose. At first, extremely lean and quiet in the mouth but after a second or two, flares up with spice and notes of tea and autumn. Slightly bitter on the finish.

solomania9's Review:

Sweet and grainy nose. Grand and dark in the mouth with dark chocolate and woody notes backed by a nicely structured acidity that rounds everything out.

solomania9's Review:

Fruity hot nose. Medium bodied and chalky in the mouth with a bright acidic finish.

solomania9's Review:

Sharp cherry nose. Complex but nondescript in the mouth with medium body and bright cherry fruit.
