Fills the entire palate. Full bodied. Earthy and herby at first. Dry finish. Babs says bitter. After one night it got fruity for me and a little hot. Not amazing like the reviews. Not sure I’d get it again. Got at auction. — a month ago

Nice lite wine but does lack flavor. Not sure why it’s rated so highly. Might try their higher end wine, but this one was meh. Won’t get again. — 7 days ago

Liked previous versions from the wine maker. But don’t know why. Thin and acidic with a very dry finish. Babs didn’t like it at all. I grew to like it. But it’s an acquired taste. Spicy and hot. 10.99 at K&L would not get again. — a month ago

Not a great vino nobile. Good nose, but thin and uninteresting. Also has a little funk to it. Would rather spend the money on a wine maker brand. 17.99 at K&L. Would not get again. — a month ago
