What a weirdo! Syrupy, juicy, low tannin and very low astringency, higher acidity, heard from some folks that this tasted like rhubarb and have to agree with one caveat: *pickled* rhubarb. Gonna be a bit divisive but I enjoyed it as a not-your-average-red. — a year ago

Way fruity but not too sweet--not sure what it'd pair best with because of how strong and acidic it was. Still, nice and dry and not quite overwhelming, so it was nice overall. — 2 years ago

Subtle and smooth, bright and buttery, one of the most solid whites we've had in a while. Great all-around pick to elevate a weekend meal. — a year ago

Least favorite wine we've had in a while--way too sweet and syrupy for our tastes. Could see it working well for some desserts, but just wasn't great for dinner. — 2 years ago
