Someone wrote “funky but refreshing.” Spot on! Love the low ABV, too. Great for summer and with food but not so much a thinking wine. — a month ago

Um, interesting. Blind I would have sworn up and down it was a sweet white. Loads of ripe fruit and biting acidity. But it is carignan . . . . It finishes without tannin and with a slight rubber note. — 2 months ago

But if banana on the nose. Almost—almost—leans into a petrol/rubber hose/Riesling note. Moves into green apple and flinty, minerally notes on the palate. Highly acidic. — 3 months ago

9.1

Well this is a great find. Great QPR at ~$22. Silkier tannins than many Tuscan Sangioveses. Similar chalky profile but more bright red fruit like strawberry without being jammy. — a month ago

Typicity of a sweet dessert wine for sure. Moderate acidity finishing short. — 3 months ago

8.9

Very well balanced semi-dry. Has the zesty, moderate acidity of a dry Riesling to show off minerally and lime zest notes. Finishes sweet without being cloying. — 3 months ago

9.2

Beautiful wine. Presents as a cross of burgundy Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. Dusty cherry and strawberry on the palate like Sangiovese. Light tannins like Pinot. Welcome medium acidity to make it its own. — 4 months ago

8.9

Solid Riesling but lacks the extra depth that many FLX rieslings have. Moderate acidity. Moderate finish. — a month ago

8.8

For trying to take some “close to France” points in the description it doesn’t have much Alsace or burgundy going for it. Typical fruity and light tannins of a Pinot Noir but why is the vanilla there? Short as well — 2 months ago

Good but missing that quality to make it great. Nose of banana. On the palate green apple and crisp. Finishes a touch short. — 3 months ago
