Fascinating nutty wine- when I smell it my brain is filled with images of chestnuts and almonds then minerality, this would be such a good card to have up your sleeve to pair in restaurant. I served it with smoked squash soup with ayurvedic spices. Niche and nice! — a month ago
I had zero expectations of enjoying this because of my pet-nat track record but this is both interesting AND enjoyable. I'm going to buy another bottle and actually taste it. — a month ago
Same name but now a rosè of Grenache.
Crunchy, tart, refreshing, highly drinkable, almost effervescent. It reminds me of a paloma - enough tequila to keep it interesting, grapefruit juice and squirt to keep me asking for more — 3 hours ago

Absolute classic. I wish America would adopt Beaujolais Nouveau the way they have adopted cheap syrupy-shiraz and meh-malbec! There's an open market here - someone just needs to think of a catchy non-French name and say it's from anywhere other than France. "Oh have you heard about Peruvian Bodisatvha? It's soooo good and really reasonably priced!" — a month ago
Having never tried a Tempranillo grown in California I didn't know what to expect and didn't have high expectations for this young Monterey County wine, but it was a pleasure to drink. Tannic, but nowhere near it's grandparents from back home. Opens with cloves, fennel, oregano and some black fruit as it develops in the glass. Nothing sophisticated here but it shows an intelligent restraint by the wine maker to not extract too much from those skins and to keep a nice acidity without adding and going overboard. — a month ago
Oh that nose! Roses and roots and fruits
Crunchy texture, light but at the same time a lot of body. Perfect acidity. Delicious finish
This has to be one of the best Gamays produced on this side of the Atlantic. — 3 days ago
Almost has the fruity nose of a Beaujolais - some of that popping fresh red fruit and a hint of bubblegum.
Nice balance on the tongue of tart ripe fruit and acid. Some oak to give it all a little sense of maturity. — 4 days ago
Did someone mix weak grape-raspberry kool-aid and put it in this bottle?
It's weird. Pours a cloudy runy-purple. Natural- esque vibes. The nose is surprisingly pleasant fresh and underripe fruits. But it's not very drinkable. Pretty low on the enjoyment scale. — a month ago

Crunchy and tasty and refreshing and all the things you would want on a summer Saturday in Sonoma.
It's a Paloma of wines - grapefruit and squirt with a touch of effervescence (served from C02 kegs) but enough tequila to keep it interesting — 3 hours ago
