This wine has a pale green-gold tint in the glass. The nose shows pear, green apple, and floral aromas, while the palate brings a lot of citrus minerality. The acidity is fresh and lively. If it’s too late for summer weather where you are, don’t worry. This PG will do just fine on the holiday table, especially if you do a seven fishes meal. — 19 days ago
This wine is almost clear in the glass. The bubbles come up quickly and disappear soon, too. The nose is yeasty and earthy, with a big mineral aspect. The palate shows Meyer lemon, zest, and that yeasty note. — 21 days ago
This wine has a light ruby tint to it. The nose is gorgeous. Fruit is the star, cherry and strawberry aromas, but a delicious earthy note adds complexity. The palate is just as juicy, and an earthy note pulls the fruit together here as well. The tannins are fairly tame, but the acidity is refreshing. Overall, it's a great wine for sipping, salads, or seafood. — a month ago
This wine is fresh and fruity. The medium ruby tint looks like Pinot Noir. The nose gives red and black fruit aromas, while the palate brings cherries, blueberries, and blackberries to the forefront. It is a clean sip, with no oak coloring the fruit and gentle tannins that make for a nice wine to chill, if you want. — 8 days ago
This wine is very pale for a rosé. It's almost clear. If you like the pinkness of rosé, that could be off putting, but stay with it. For six bucks, you don't have much to lose. The nose is aromatic, but it's mostly peaches and pears. As light cherry aroma does come forth, along with minerals and a hint of citrus. The palate shows similar fruit, with a heavier accent on the citrus. The acidity is quite brisk. If you get past the lack of color, this is a pretty good rosé wine.

This wine has a yellow-green tint in the glass. The nose is full of minerality, with lemons and a sea breeze leading the way. The palate shows citrus, too, and carries that wonderful salinity with it. The acidity is zesty and bright. Pair it with crab, shrimp, or any sort of seafood, really. — a month ago
This wine has a yellow-gold color in the glass. The nose shows earthy notes of apricot and peach, with some Bosc pear appearing. On the palate, that fruit is dressed in salinity and abetted by a healthy zing of tangy acidity. It reminds me a bit of Trebbiano or Garganega wines, but with more character. — 14 days ago
This wine has a nice, rich color. It’s orange in a copper kind of way. The nose is somewhat muted, but traces of cherry, lemon, tangerine, and peach are in there. The palate has a fresh acidity and centers the flavors on citrus minerality. It is a hearty rosé, and one that will pair nicely with a variety of meats and cheeses. — 16 days ago
This wine has a greenish gold color to it. The nose offers citrus, minerality and oak spice. The oak shows on the palate, too, along with lemon, pear, apple, and apricot notes. It is a bit oaky, but not too much so. The acidity is brisk and finish is long, with minerals and citrus lasting the longest. — 21 days ago

This wine is medium-dark in the glass. The nose is rich with raspberry and blueberry aromas, while the palate shows dark fruit as well. There is a touch of oak, but it is not at all overdone. The tannins are somewhat fierce upon opening, so let it breathe a bit. The acidity is mouth-watering and the finish is lengthy. Taboadella begs for a thick, juicy steak. — 4 days ago
