Made with Otskhanuri Sapere, a rare “teinturier” variety from western Georgia (genetically unrelated to the much more popular Saperavi, but similarly known from producing very dark colored wines). From a vineyard in the village of Obcha, in the Imereti region in western Georgia. Fermented and aged in qvevri. Almost opaque, deep ruby color with purple hues. Intense aromas of wild berries, herbs and some earthy notes. Cherries, pomegranate and lollipop flavors. Fresh, juicy, delicious. Structured, grippy tannins, high acidity. Wild, fascinating, — 3 years ago
Very nice wine, more like a Pinot Noire. Lighter in color and a little pepper flavor. Very smooth and enjoyable after breathing — 5 years ago

На старте спичечная головка, легкий тон уксуса. Быстро раздышивается, проявляется кислая вишня, клюква, сушеные листья черники, сухая шерсть; через какое-то время малина. После часа уходит в приятную «морозную» органолептику, напоминающую сорбет из красных ягод. Легкое тело, ягодный вкус, абсолютно чистый, с высокой, чуть нервной, кислотностью и худосочными танинами. Легкая растительная горчинка в послевкусии. 16,5/20 — 7 years ago
Entry-level red, made with Otskhanuri Sapere, a rare “teinturier” variety from western Georgia (genetically unrelated to the much more popular Saperavi, but similarly known from producing very dark colored wines). From vineyards in Imereti, in the west of the country. Aged in oak (No qvevri). Cherry color. Bright, fresh on the nose. Aromas of red fruit. Medium-bodied (much lighter than their Saperavi I tasted next to it). Good acidity. — 2 years ago

herbaceous funky effervescent red. it’s a big bright wine with notes of blackberry. it’s acidic and tannic, and a unique wine to cut through the flavors of a steak. — 10 months ago
