This wine has a pale yellow color with a greenish tint. The nose is amazing, full of minerality and salinity, with citrus, apple, and pear notes. The palate is loaded with minerals, too, and that beautiful, salty flavor. The acidity is invigorating, and the finish is lengthy. The winery suggests pairing with a wide variety of foods, including seafood, scampi, salads, even spaghetti carbonara. I had mine with a chicken salad sandwich, and again with some Rancho Gordo beans and rice. It was a great fit both ways. — 17 days ago

Intensidade e equilíbrio em um blend de 4 uvas e predominancia de Shiraz, resultando em aromas frutados, com notas de especiarias e leveza floral, com bom corpo e saída suave, mas marcante. Complexo e com bom paladar. — 5 years ago

A nice change of scenery. A lot of black fruits in here. Both black from living and black from dried age or should I just say decay? , if that makes any sense to anyone but me I'll be surprised. Secondary smells are kitchen herbs - thyme, Thai basil, and maybe some marjoram. . Again walking that line between fresh and dried.

The more I went into the bottle the higher my rating creot. That's the opposite of most for me. — 8 months ago
