Really yummy red blend. Garnacha was over load on this wine. I qould prefer more syrah grape but very yimmy for price — 5 years ago
This one was so sweet, but not too sweet! It was so refreshing and perfect after a meal. I usually tend to avoid white blends, but this one was delightful! — 5 years ago

Another succesful Vinolus.
They are brave to blend to "Kalecik Karasi" Turkish Central Anatolian grade with Tempranillo.
Good job — 11 years ago

2017 is 100% cab. Soft pepper and black currant o the nose. More currants, dark berries and warm spices finish off a good wine. Noted that when drank with a curry the spice finish is massively and positively enhanced versus non spicy food. — 5 years ago
One of my favorite small production wine, 300 cases. Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing & wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Aromas of lemon citrus with herb, stone & tropical fruits. Palate, peach, Granny Smith apple & ripe melon flavors with lively citrus zest wrapped in lbalanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Consistent! Nice! — 5 years ago
Easy to drink, lots of berries. — 7 years ago

Typically stay away from nigori, but got this one in a subscription box, so I paired it with spicy Chinese chicken. Perfect smoothness and hint of sweetness. This will make a fan of anyone who says they don’t like unfiltered sake. — 4 years ago
