Open the bit dry and dusty and took a little while to develop, but definitely came in strong with chewy, dried tart, cherries, pomegranate, Dusty cooking herbs, cured meats, and stayed nicely developed over 2 to 3 days of drinking. Very delicious  — 6 days ago

Got it in the last bottle sampler pack and really it kind of feels like filler. Not much is much flavor a little flabby but if you cool it down as cold as you can it’s nice and crisp and takes the heat off.  — a month ago

Smoky and earthy and definite, savory flavors. Smoked meat, pecan smoke, she roasted forest floor, dark and untenable, crushed violets that even after a week being open are still intense in nose and flavor.  — 2 months ago

Intense. Crushed red fruit and violets and yippee plums. I thought the intensity might tone down a bit, but even after a few hours open still is a bit daunting to drink. Not bad, but it’s definitely an experience. I had it with some basic rotisserie chicken and I’m thinking something with more fat would’ve been more appropriate for a wine like this.  — 2 months ago

Hello yellow, strong acidity without much else in the way of developing flavors. Green star, fruit, kiwi, things like that. Went very well with homemade fried chicken though.  — 12 days ago

Gentle red fruit, crisp and chewy. Good clarity. Slightly saline. First champagne after the new baby! — a month ago

I like everybody waxes rhapsodic about how Europe has these wonderful wines at a low price point with their negotiations, but then you get something like what Costco does and all of a sudden people are turning into snobs. It is what it is, it’s delicious and tasty and nothing too serious, and is that an accessible price point that multiple people can enjoy and not just the wealthy. I love it for being what it is.  — 2 months ago

Present is a bit sharp when it was first opened, definitely need some time to breathe to come out of that almost tanginess to it. Developed into subtle and understated, red fruit and chewy tart cherries, and some floral hibiscus tea and rosewater smells and flavors.  — a month ago

Bit of one note song. It smelled strongly of peaches and melon and white flowers, but that’s about it, having the automatics light on the taste and flavor. A little bit flabby, could’ve used more structure. Taste not directly following the nose of the wine. A good Wine for sitting around at the table, but not much else it seems.  — 2 months ago
