When I first tried this at a tasting I definitely enjoyed it, but when I opened it (probably a few months after purchasing) and had it alone, and then with oysters. It just seemed to fall flat. Perhaps there is something off with this bottle as there is a hint of oxidation on the nose, but all the acidity has completely fallen off. There's a nice key lime note and flinty mineral, but other than that pretty bland. — 8 years ago

100% Monastrell. Lots of "green" on the nose--herb & green veggies, but not quite full on green pepper. First sniff made me think it was corked, but that went away. Hint oxidation, sharp cherry, blood orange. A little funky. Free run juice, native yeast. — 8 years ago

Grapefruit, apricot, underripe pineapple, lots of green pepper, grass, mineral, herb, acidity. Refreshing & aromatic, but also interesting. The acidity does start to build pretty heavily. — 8 years ago

Richly colored orange wine (Rose gold). Cranberry, cherry, tart yet rich red fruit flavors, exotic spice, cherry skin tannin. Fun & enjoyable, but wonder if it may have been more delicious & exciting a year ago. Edit: more intriguing & depth as it got closer to room temperature. — 8 years ago
