Manages to be bright with moderate acidity and still have a waxy last taste to it. Bright straw and slightly under ripe gooseberries, slightly under ripe raisins, persimmons. It has the tart and the acid hit a good golden flavor that has enough sugar developed to not be just bitter. Smooth and flowing, not very viscous, considering the waxy flavors to it, but overall a definite winner, especially in combination with avocado, garlic, pita bread, and all sorts of grilled meats, al pastor style.  — 16 days ago

Serviceable. But savory and waxy could’ve used a little bit more structure but nothing incredibly bad incredibly good, just a great every day wine but I don’t know if I would buy a continuously as an every day wine for the place.  — a month ago

Not great, not bad, definitely enough structure to be not coin, little heavy with the alcohol at 13%. Unripe anjou pear, crisp Bosc pear, fresh white nectarines. Nose of waxy white flowers. Definitely good for just lounging and drinking, but don’t expect too much out of it.  — 2 months ago

Rustic and hearty. Didn’t develop too much beyond its opening but good chewy, broad, firm flavors of ripe red fruits, roasted tomatoes a bit, deep dark earth, and dried spices. — 23 days ago

9.1

An excellent depth of flavor for such a light wine. Nose of dried roses, dried flowers, dusty roads. Light, ethereal flavors of grabby red fruits, underripe strawberries, red brick, light pepper. Strong structure to stand up to a dry aged ribeye. Excellent. — a month ago

The first night it kind of got a little overwhelming to be perfectly honest. I had to call it quits and try it again a couple of days later and then I finally got the smoky and earthy and savory flavors. The structure is definitely there and it takes some time to unwind. Very tight very expressive Wine, definitely enjoyed it.  — a month ago

Surprise me of having a more herbal and vegetable foundation than the light flowery fruity that you kind of expect from this area, but it worked very well. That herbal note faded after the first blush, and it developed some delicate strawberry and hibiscus and floral notes. Good structure, never felt flabby, but after a day or two of being open, develop some cherry flavors, which just weren’t my favorite, but weren’t bad. Delicious wine.  — a month ago
