Wine : Destinea Pinot Noir Rosé 2020
Tangy orange-flower and strawberry aromas. Dry on the palate with decent acidity for a rosé. Refreshing, light, food-friendly (worked with Salade Nicoise). — 4 days ago

For the Gruner Veltliner - Limpid! Aromas: bracing lemon and white pepper a touch of gooseberry. Rich in the mouth - not the attack I was expecting from the aroma, an intriguing citric nuttiness. — 3 months ago

I'm not sure I really get entry-level Malbec. Big, chocolately Malbecs are fun but I'm not sure what this wine's niche is. Aroma - sweet sandalwood-spiced plum jam. On the palate the sweetness is there but not the richness it needs to support it and the tannins no quite giving enough grip. A perfectly pleasant wine, no wow. — 3 months ago

Dried apricot and honey aromas. Sweetness not that intense and acidity gentle. Not very exciting. — 9 days ago

From Wine Society Oregon case. Origin Salem, Oregon.
Aromas : Electric, lemon, stones. In the mouth it really opens up with creamy, biscuit flavours. Great length, a nice touch of peach stone bitterness and acidity. — 25 days ago

Zingy lime, coconut, honey and pear aromas. You'd guess it as Riesling from the note of steel on the nose, even though it doesn't have the kerosene. Great acidity, lemon and lime pith in the mouth. Dryer than your typical German kabinett but not quite as dry as an Alsace Riesling. Went well with a mango and tempeh salad. — 3 months ago

Promising touch of brick in the wine's colour. Meaty, smoked almond and anise-spiced cherry aromas. Some tannic grip but pleasingly subtle in the mouth , the cherry is there and good length but all well balanced. — a month ago

Didn't know what to expect from this - it has surprisingly lightweight glass bottle - low carbon 💚. Lovely, typical sour cherry aromas and leather verging on sweaty saddle aromas (not in a bad way IMO). Peppery cherry flavours and satisfying, robust, dry tannic finish — 3 months ago

This is great - punchy plum, raspberry, pepper, menthol and tobacco spice aromas. On the palate crunchy, sweet cherry fruit and pleasant tannin with a waft of smoke. Good length and moreish. — 4 months ago
