Wonderful, unique bouquet. Melon, honey, citrus, and vegetal notes reminiscent of a classical French Sauvignon blanc. Moldovan wine is still under the radar and I’ve had several fantastic offerings. It’s rare to find this quality tethered to such an attractive price point. Buy it by the case and work on your “I had this back when it was affordable” speech. Fantastically creative — 6 years ago

Stone fruit, peach. Lovely summer wine. One commenter describes it as a “porch pounder”, and I would happily agree — 7 years ago

Oh boy. First impression is a smack in the face petrol. Unmistakable, unapologetic, unforgettable. A beautiful bone dry American Riesling, that rivals any of its German counterparts. Knock me over with the Dowsett family feather and call me Dianne, this is a fantastic white wine. Crisp and acidic. Fun and delectable. Pair with any meal. Bring to any party. If you’re new to whites, or want to introduce someone to white wine, then start here. This is a winner from every perspective. Washington wines tend to be a bit pricy, but this smaller vintner gets it right and warrants the cost. The Columbia river valley is well represented here and this is a wine everyone should try at least once. Cheers! — 7 years ago

Bright, fruity, medium body, refreshing. These impressions come on immediately and hang around. Crisp finish, with supreme drinkability. Beautiful wine. It’s hard to beat the Germans at the Riesling game. — 7 years ago

Geez. Where do I start? This wine isn’t for everyone. But for my palate it’s one of the best red wines I’ve ever tried. This vibrantly red carmenere is complex, and surpasses any expectations you may have had. Strong ocean scent. Salty, briny, fresh. — 7 years ago

Holy acid ! My first impression is acidic, citrusy, with an exciting zesty finish. This particular wine is a departure from what I normally drink but goes to show that it can pay off when you step outside of your comfort zone. I feel like this wine would pair well with a plethora of different foods. I want some spicy fish, fresh sardines, or some fried heirloom tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and have fun playing with my palate. That’s the best word to describe this wine, fun. As of this writing the only pairing I have is more wine, so I’ll have to make due! — 7 years ago

One of the best value summer rose that I’ve enjoyed. Fruit forward, crisp, and slightly heavy for a rose. This was an 8.99 bottle that knocks my socks off. The quality to value ratio is hard to beat. Yet, I’d still be satisfied if this was $13. Great summer, going somewhere, accessible wine. A crowd pleaser that doesn’t break the bank. Buy a case and be happy. — 7 years ago
