Light, refreshing — 10 months ago
Champagne Method Portuguese sparkler. Blend of native Portuguese grapes including Maria Gomes (23%), Bical (70%) and Cercial (7%). Aromas and flavors of pear, citrus fruits, white flowers, wet stones, honey and anise. Hint of chalk, smoke and minerals on the long finish. Expressive effervescence and creamy texture. (Lees Aging?) Unique, interesting and easy to drink. Excellent QPR. — 10 months ago
Although wine may have been past its prime, it lacked a distinct aroma. It was well-balanced with relatively low tannic notes. — a month ago
Very unusual Zin. There were hints of brambles and blackberries, but the real difference was the texture and taste—smooth as silk from the first sip straight through to the end of the finish. — 3 months ago
Don’t let the fact that this is a natural wine scare you off. This is a great Champagne alternative. Brioche, yeast, and pear on the nose. Brioche, apple, pear, and baking spices on the palate. Has a very long finish. — 9 months ago
Aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruit are lifted by a subtle, herbaceous breeze. The palate is vibrant and rounded, with a refreshing acidity that leads to a clean, saline-mineral finish. — 4 months ago

If one Portuguese varietal grabs me it’s Baga, & this bottling is one of the higher end bottlings I’ve tried. It’s early in its development so demands decanting and/or aging, but the stuffing is all there. Ripe red cherries, medium light body, some Burgundy adjacent analogies I’m sure. — 16 days ago
