Did someone mix weak grape-raspberry kool-aid and put it in this bottle?
It's weird. Pours a cloudy runy-purple. Natural- esque vibes. The nose is surprisingly pleasant fresh and underripe fruits. But it's not very drinkable. Pretty low on the enjoyment scale. — a month ago
Crunchy and tasty and refreshing and all the things you would want on a summer Saturday in Sonoma.
It's a Paloma of wines - grapefruit and squirt with a touch of effervescence (served from C02 kegs) but enough tequila to keep it interesting — 8 days ago
Almost has the fruity nose of a Beaujolais - some of that popping fresh red fruit and a hint of bubblegum.
Nice balance on the tongue of tart ripe fruit and acid. Some oak to give it all a little sense of maturity. — 11 days ago
Absolute classic. I wish America would adopt Beaujolais Nouveau the way they have adopted cheap syrupy-shiraz and meh-malbec! There's an open market here - someone just needs to think of a catchy non-French name and say it's from anywhere other than France. "Oh have you heard about Peruvian Bodisatvha? It's soooo good and really reasonably priced!" — a month ago
Same name but now a rosè of Grenache.
Crunchy, tart, refreshing, highly drinkable, almost effervescent. It reminds me of a paloma - enough tequila to keep it interesting, grapefruit juice and squirt to keep me asking for more — 8 days ago
Oh that nose! Roses and roots and fruits
Crunchy texture, light but at the same time a lot of body. Perfect acidity. Delicious finish
This has to be one of the best Gamays produced on this side of the Atlantic. — 10 days ago
Fascinating nutty wine- when I smell it my brain is filled with images of chestnuts and almonds then minerality, this would be such a good card to have up your sleeve to pair in restaurant. I served it with smoked squash soup with ayurvedic spices. Niche and nice! — a month ago
I had zero expectations of enjoying this because of my pet-nat track record but this is both interesting AND enjoyable. I'm going to buy another bottle and actually taste it. — a month ago

100% Xarrel-lo from Penedés
Green apple candy nose, other than that pretty neutral aromatically
Surprising mouth feel and structure. Structured how I think of a young Chablis- it feels like a square in my mouth but the edges are filed smooth. My mouth is surprised by the tame acids that greet the tongue compared to the green apple nose. It's almost a Spanish cider like wine in the way that there is very subtle amounts of residual sugar and effervescence remaining in the bottle. (And the obvious apple characteristics)
This wine also has a great example of phenolic bitterness if you are looking for that. This is fun because it's nothing like any other white I've been drinking. Pic-poul.may be the closest comparison that I can think of — 5 days ago
