Black cherry, wet earth, maybe a bit of mint and raisin. Fairy rich on the palate with ripe, slightly raisinates red fruit. Some earth, spice, and black tea on the fairly long finish. Med- acidity. Med tannin. Pretty good. — 4 days ago

Cassis, grilled beef, pepper, oak spice, pencil shaving, chocolate. Complex nose.

Palate of sour cherry, cranberry, asphalt, cocoa powder, black tea. Medium body, medium acidity, and slightly course tannins.

A bit on the thin side for the beef heart I'm eating, but still nice and complex with excellent balance and oak integration. Might have opened it a few years early. — 2 years ago

Lemon, honey, petrol, steely minerality, and even a beery maltiness. Med+ acidy. RS contributes more to mouthfeel than anything. Zippy and delicious. — 2 years ago

Sour cherry, cranberry, black pepper, maybe some earth/mushroom. Juicy on the palate with red sour fruit, medium acidity and soft tannin with some spice. Tasty, crushable red. — 12 days ago

Lots of ripe, candied red fruit character with a bit of woodsy, minty quality. Mild acidity and tannin. Solid example of this style. Not as complex as some of the ones I've had from Veneto, bit still good. — 2 years ago

Fruity with citrus, faint red fruit candy, and great acidity. Super tasty and quaffable. One of my favorite sub $15 wines period. — 2 years ago

Nose of black cherry, pomegranate, black pepper, iron, licorice, and something that reminds me of animals...in a good way. Very Bandol like. Palate is rich and structured with dark fruit, spice, good acidity, and somewhat bitter, course tannins. Alcohol is well hidden.

Rustic and wild, but still rich and complex. I really dig this style, but I understand why not everyone would be on board. — 2 years ago

Cassis, cherry, chocolate, some earth and subtle green veggie. Kind of medium throughout: body acidity, tannin. Red fruit and spice. Solid no frills pop and pour. — 3 months ago

8.6

White flowers, peaches, a bit of strawberry. Palate is on the heavier, almost oily side. Med- acidity and some notable phenolic bitterness and touch of minerality.

Not as good as their GSM rosé IMO. I prefer a bit more acidity and less weight. — 2 years ago

Dark fruits with a velvety mouthfeel, soft tannins and good acidity. Ripe but elegant. Was hoping for a bit more complexity though. — 2 years ago
