Smells like some sort of cleaning agent. Tastes like a port, but a simple ruby. Not particularly notable. — 6 days ago

Dry rosé, 60% Can Franc, 35+% Cab Sauvignon, and a bit of Riesling. Okay but not to my taste, and the fruit is too prominent with very little minerality. — 6 days ago

Fairly typical FLX Pinot Noir. Sour cherry, a bit thin, mild tannins that disappear too soon. Short finish. — 6 days ago

8.4

Ryan Williams: they call it Blanc de Noir, but it’s not Pinot noir. It’s Merlot. Should be called a Bianco di Merlot, but it’s darker than a Ticino Bianco di Merlot. Unobtrusive, a bit sweet, a bit too grape juicy. — 6 days ago

On the nose it’s apple pie. But reasonably dry on the tongue. (Not that dry, but it’s cider. ) quite good. — 6 days ago

Faint nose, restrained fruit, bit of minerality. Not a super Riesling, but actually a decent wine. This would be a really good patio wine. — 6 days ago

8.5

This is the Syrah. It’s a decent patio or BBQ red, but not a great expression of Syrah. Spices on the nose, but very ordinary simple red, limited fruit, no real structure to speak of. I can’t see this aging well even though they claim it is structured to age in the cellar. — 6 days ago

This is surprisingly good. I had low expectations given the other offerings. Excellent structure, dark fruit, bit of dry cocoa. Decent length, not super long but okay. — 6 days ago

8.7

Above average FLX Cab Franc. None of the wet cardboard and musty cement that usually mars the FLX Cab Francs. You get the cassis and earth and leather and a bit of structure. Not enough tannic presence for such a young wine. A bit thin on the mouth after the initial tannic hit. And a short finish before you are only left with a hint of bitterness. — 6 days ago
