Sample, not sure of the varietal percentages. My guess is a higher percentage of SB. Grapefruit, lemon zest, some cut grass, cat pee with an acidic backbone. I usually prefer a white Bordeaux with a higher percentage of Semillon. — 9 days ago

Enjoyable as an aperitif. My wife said it tasted like apple cider to her. I enjoyed it, tart apple, some citrus but I would have been hard pressed to identify the varietal as Albarino. — 9 days ago

This is actually a Clairet, an older style of Bordeaux midway between a red and a rosé. Unique because the estate is certified biodynamic and also practices natural winemaking. It is in Montagne st. Emilion. The wine is Merlot/Cabernet Franc and is delicious. This is a chillable summer red that drinks way too easy. Tart strawberry, raspberry with a little earth and spice thrown in. — 10 days ago

Skin contact white. Peach, pear, some melon and tropical. Even a hint of tannins. Refreshing “orange” wine. — 17 days ago

Excellent Alto Adige PG. I believe made by a co-op. Tart citrus, hint of green apple and lots of mineralogy with a backbone of crisp acidity. — 10 days ago

So, so good and so, so young. Complex, layered but so tasty. Tons of acid, nectarine, ripe peach, honeycomb and will only get better with age; Just so hard to not drink it now. — 10 days ago

Babic, first time tasting this varietal. I was expecting it to be like other Croatian reds: red fruit and PN like. This was mainly black fruit driven with a crisp acidity. — 17 days ago
