A fun one. Lots of herbal notes, black pepper, and lemon. Medium acidity. Great by the pool in the shade. — 2 months ago
Fell a little short of expectations by being over-oaked and too vanilla-y. Base Sangiovese is there (slate, plum, cherry, and violets), but is overwhelmed by the wood. — 3 months ago
As expected for a mass Malbec — 2 months ago
Passion fruit! Secondary notes of lemon and pear. Obviously fruity but not sweet. Medium-plus acidity. Excellent on a hot, sunny Florida beach day. — 2 months ago
Punches significantly over its $12. Lots of cherry and dark berries. More vanilla than desired. Moderate complexity. — 4 months ago
Lovely blend. Medium-plus acidity and medium body. Pear and a dried floral note with the bass support provided by deep and rich spices. Would drink over many—but not all—Rieslings. — 4 months ago
Not as acidic or alive as anticipated. Light strawberry but pretty one-dimensional. — 2 months ago
Interesting wine. Starts a little flabby like a Chardonnay, but then brightens into something like a sauvignon blanc—zesty lemon, pear, green apple with good acidity. Finishes a bit short. — 2 months ago
Disappointed with the overwhelming vanilla at this price point (~$20-22). Pretty good outside the vanilla excess—more typical west coast Pinot flavors. — 4 months ago
