Purple color.
Shortbread-y cobbler olfaction.

Dark red-pink color throughout.
Shellfish and herbal perfume on the nose.
Dark chocolate on the palate. — 7 months ago
Thin, pale rose color.
Fresh fruit, juicy peach, licorice and spice on the nose.
On the palate it is sweet and hugs the tongue graciously. It offers little tannin but makes up for that in its luscious, fruity presentation. Medium-body.
Medium to long finish. — 11 days ago
Light pale straw color.
Fresh raspberry and popcorn bouquet. — 5 months ago
Red with the slightest orange tinge.
Embers and cocoa on the nose.
Dusty baking spices and chocolates. — 6 months ago
Dark rich cork staining. Dark red with gold rim.
Rich tannins immediately come forward along with dried herbs and tobacco when swirled.
Black cherry and lovely acidity meets round structure. — 7 months ago
Crimson and dark lightening to magenta at the surface.
The nose is rich and round, reminding me of flaky pastries; echos of oak are heavily present. The similaries to Malbec seem clear.
However, surprising acidity contrasts and lifts a plummy richness accumulating in a medium to long finish.
The initial flavor upon each sip is striking and lays itself out on the plate in a thick carpet. — 21 days ago
Deep opaque ruby color. Sour macerated berries on the nose. Open with little to no tannic aromas.
Cherry cheesecake comes to mind on the first sip. — 5 months ago
A blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir sounds delectable.
Opaque dark color, red rim.
Fresh jammy fruits on the nose reminiscent of Gamay but somehow pulled in a new, structured direction.
Light body but with a medium finish, offering expected structure.
Not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
Interesting concept though! — 7 months ago

2019.
Deeply opaque ruby-crimson color.
Mascerated fruits and loamy soil come to mind when aerated. A familiar sterility lingers, like cherry cough drops.
Subtle, developed fruits with a balance of roundness and structure give this an inky quality. There's deep, dark cocoa/coffee on the finish, resembling a dark chocolate truffle with boozy fruit inside. Said finish is medium long and resembles the olfactory notes.
Paired with chicken pizza. — 6 hours ago
