So smooth, super easy to drink. Wet stone, super light lemon citrus, salt. Vintage: 2019 — 4 years ago

There was a hint of smokiness to this blend that I liked. — 6 years ago

Smoky, like remnants of a cigar or camp fire (the smells...very delightful). The taste. Harsh. I am wondering if it’s tannins. Or I just don’t like zins. Don’t buy again. — 7 years ago

Yep, I taste the tannins in this one. Like earl grey tea tannins. This is a black pepper spicy wine. The aromas are first like mixed berries, raspberry and black berries. Then the alcohol smell comes through along with pepper spices. I do like this one. It is good when I want lots of pepper spice, tannins with grip and something a bit on the sharp side. — 4 years ago

My first thought: this wine is flat. That may sound like a bad thing, but it is not. I am finding my first impressions of wine, thus far, are smooth, flat, grip, buttery (the Chards), sharp, minerally (Pinot Grigio), peppery (which I think is my interpretation of tannins). I am still learning what makes my tongue tell my brain these textures, however. Texture is a good word here. This wine almost lacks a texture. Henceforth, flat. It has wonderful flavors, but this wine does not grip the tongue like some others. Therefore, I like to wash spicy food down with this wine. Because it doesn’t coat my tongue the way a wine with grip does...or even the way a smooth wine may. My husband does not like alcohol. He said this wine was smooth. The bottle says vanilla flavors. Vanilla in scents and flavors = a bit of calm (at least for me). A homy kind of calm. This wine is calm—flat, but it is not homy. Too much flavor for that. I am fascinated by the contradictions in this wine. 🧐. I could accidentally drink the whole bottle in one setting because it is so calm yet full of flavor. — 6 years ago

Bitter. Bitter soured apples. Pretty golden color, though. Don’t buy again. Much better chards out there. — 6 years ago
