There is a punch of pepper—green, black, and pink, and a smooth cocoa finish. Undercurrents of damp clay and pencil circulate through. It is bright and surprisingly light on its toes, and the tannins are smooth and unobtrusively integrated. With time, the nose grows a mocha note, speaking to both the roasty coffee bean notes and the cocoa. — a year ago
Loved this! Medium weight, easy drinking red with bright little acid-and-tannic notes, strawberry jam up front, sort of a plum cassis thing in back… delish!! — 3 years ago
Light ruby color with a garnet rim. Bright aromas of red berry fruit and a pleasant funkiness. Flavors of red cherry and plum with hints of black pepper, ash and minerals. Medium body and finish with well balanced acidity and alcohol. Smooth tannins. Underrated varietal. — 9 days ago
Trendy native varietal from Armenia. Smooth light bodied red with hints of red berries and an herby finish. Interesting wine.
Would love to pair with lamb maybe. — 6 months ago

Absolutely unexpected red wine from Armenia, Areni ungrafted grapes selected for this particular wine from ArmAs estate provides a great balance and incredible smoothness that will surprise anyone. Rounded tannins and balanced structure allows to have more than one glass. Cheers! — 5 months ago
My first Armenian wine, which is not surprising since this is the only one that seems to be readily available in the US. Medium bodied, with red fruit and floral aromas on the nose. Darker fruit on the palate with some vanilla and spice flavors. Velvety texture. It took a bit to open up, but once it did I couldn't put my glass down. 95% Areni, 5% Tozot. 1/8/23. — 2 years ago
