Ages and mellows very well if kept right. Mellow bouquet with honey notes. Sour cherry on the pallette. Needs a little time to breathe. — 5 years ago

The color of this wine shocked me when I first poured it: deep purple, but translucent. It's a red blend, and based on the region it's grown in, it probably has some combo of Pinot Noir and Syrah. Dark fruit, blackberry and jam on the nose. Overripe strawberry, blackberry and jam on the palette. Bold, long finish. Hard to pair with food, but works well with spice and tomato-based sauces. Either drink solo or with spicy food or red sauce pasta dishes. — 9 years ago

Really light bodied red or borderline rosé. Tart with fennel on the palette. It's a funky wine not meant for the light of heart, but it goes well with seafood and all meats. — 9 years ago

White gold colored Riesling. White flowers on the nose with a bit of green apple. Tart and sour fruit with acid on the palette. Great solo wine but also good with saucy chicken dishes that have some spice. — 9 years ago
