Great value Red from Macedonia. Bright purple color that shows off notes of ripe red berries and fruit jams. (Concentrated). Little bit of cinnamon and herbs on the finish. Not much of a nose at all. Medium body with a very narrow and smooth finish. (When you swallow it- it is gone). Pretty good. — 7 years ago

Dry farm organic Rose. Tart and citrus like at the beginning, but super sweet at the swallow. Dry taste at the end. Yum! — 8 years ago

Exquisite! Subtle notes of burgundy, with a delightful finish tasting of Marlboro reds. The fragrance is reminiscent of freshly picked kiwi and warm parsnips. Finally, the color is remanent of Himalayan rubies, or perhaps a Pygmy Mexican Ruby-Throated Swallow. — 9 years ago

Nice, crisp just enough, passion fruit, ginger, biscuity, little herbal, very complex. Just don't know how long it will last. A good liquid to swallow at the moment👌🏽👌🏽 — 9 years ago

Ridiculous value here. Elegant, classy, refreshing. Masterful use of wood. And by drinking this wine you are supporting kind-hearted, generous farmers. I'll have another swallow for all the above reasons. — 10 years ago

Smells like that blackberry-blueberry combo that I love from Merlot. Bright acidity and freshly picked blueberries are the first thing you taste, and then plums and blackberry on the midpalate that intensities as soon as you swallow. Finishes with the return of the blueberry. EXCEPTIONAL Merlot for $11. 100% Merlot, no oak. 2013 Vintage — 10 years ago

Drinks like a crisp fall day. Lightly cooked dark fruit--plums and dark cherries to my mouth--with a sturdy structure around it and some cedar, smoke and maybe a touch of sweet spice under it. Gonna swallow it down with stew so, we'll see. — 11 years ago

Deceivingly light vs the color. Smooth, clean taste. Grape like taste that is consistent from sip to swallow. Very nice.. — 12 years ago

Road trips deserve respites. Beaufort, SC’s Old Bull Tavern spinning Marvin, Jimmi, and Stevie while casually offering up perfect garlicky oil bathed snails set upon crazy freshly baked chewy sour dough simply screams for, oh yeah, the wine. This fine Pomerol waits, wanting , her dangerously dark scarlet skin shimmers as she spins in the early evening tempted by the tunes revealing her marooning shades, darker bleeding berries, showing lighter in the wafting inconsistency of candle light. Another spin , a tilt, a voyeur’s gaze, a twirl, and a first kiss’ earthy wet spice on the front succumbs to plum its well-balanced acid clutches begging another spin, The I sip slow seductive deep kiss as she floods forward - I swallow, but she clings slowly, gradually, teetering touching sliding slowly, stealthy, soothingly, seductively signaling - have another hit... Don’t miss this wine or place, both picture perfect dripping southern edge and charm with a French accent and kiss🍷🌀 — 8 years ago

Not a big nose, mild ripe fruits, dark red nearly purple-black. What a smooth mouth feel. Big ripe fruit and silky texture on the tongue with a hint of smoke on the swallow. A nice last. As it opened, still the same smooth fruity taste, but a little acidity on the last. Not unpleasant, but a strange sensation. Mid-alcohol, long leg tapers in the glass. — 8 years ago

Words don't do this justice...ethereal and weightless on the palate, the most fragile, delicate sparkling wine I've ever tasted... grand cru Chablis with the tightest, long-lasting mousse imaginable... think head on a Belgian ale... and when you swallow an angel sings and the taste slowly disappears and a smile appears. Hard for me to imagine anything finer. Still an infant, and lighter than air... but unforgettable — 9 years ago

Fresh grapefruit, melted bakers chocolate with undisolved sugar, rind of plum and BlackBerry (if they had rinds). Blueberry when I swallow.

Later, it's turning into sugarless cold brownies with blueberry jam

I don't taste any yellow or green, only black, purple, Brown and hints of red.

Wine with a beautiful opaque burgundy color and some purple hue mixed in, smells of roast beef, bing cherry, and prune, medium body, soft and savory tannin, very easy drinking and paired perfectly with tarragon infused chicken and spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette, balanced acidity with a slight spicy kick, hint of strawberry jam after swallow, wine for a relaxed Saturday afternoon. — 11 years ago

Crisp, light with subtle green apple and nectarine. Dry mouth feel that lags (flavor hits a few seconds after you swallow). Hard to pinpoint but objectively a good fucking wine.

Good on it’s own. Not meant to pair with anything - maybe white fish? Wine you drink because your drinking, not pairing — 8 years ago

Beautiful plum ruby color with a lighter almost orange rim on it.

The nose is pretty and fragrant. Inky and acetone to start on the nose leads to wild berries with mocha and coffee dusted almonds. The tannins are grippy as hell, fighting you as you swallow. I say the finish drops off too quickly for it to get a higher score, but it has tremendous potential. — 9 years ago

'I can't tell you what this is blind but I can tell you it surrrrre is delicious'. Rich and earthy and just these tasty chewy tannins and fairly bright fruit just starting to find its secondary characteristics. This is one of those wines I didn't even want to swallow - just swish forever! — 11 years ago
