Delightful. 49% merlot, 45% cab sauv, little petit verdot, and cab franc to round it out. Smells and tastes like cab but drinks a little more smoothly and cleaner with that merlot. Really like it cause its all the cab I like without the part I am less a fan of. — a month ago
Tasty. Purple ruby color. Opaque. Dutch cocoa, cigar, blackberry, sour plums, black cherry, some alcohol bite. Not as big as it smells or as other saperavis. Medium bodied. Still does well against pasta and meatballs. Would have again. — 15 days ago
Whew, quantity over quality fur sure. Surprisingly not buttery considering it’s a cali chard. Tastes boozy with a biting astringent finish. Lemon pith. Not terrible but also not great. — 24 days ago
Tasty, definitely went better with food. Very acidic without food with tons of lemon. The food settled down the acidity. Smelled like blueberry, astringency clears the palette. — a month ago
The wine went with Slovenian chicken, asparagus, and potatoes. Its a pretty aggressive white with a slight astringency and a hint of bitterness. But very floral aroma with some green peach and green tea notes. — 15 days ago
The wine is good. Not amazing but its way better than I expected it to be. Crystal clear straw yellow. Aroma is dominated by pear with very trace to minimal characters of spice, bread, floral, and sulfur. Not overy complex but you can dig out real subtleties if you smell it enough. Flavorwise it drinks a lot like a cider. Really fruity, followed by strong acidity and just a touch of dryness on the finish. Its not wildly deep or complex but its clean, competent and a good value at $10.99. It does a good job of cutting through the richness of saag paneer. And the fruity pear aroma just balances nicely against the strong curry aroma while clearing the palate for the next spicy bite. — 15 days ago

Good. Goes nicely with Armenian Manti. It is a semi sweet wine but not so aggressive. Comes across like an undersweetened young port or the biggest and heaviest zin you can find. Not my favorite but it tastes good with the food. — 9 days ago
