My kind of wine but I’m predictable. Medium ruby but starting to show age on the rim, day bright. Aromas of violets, GBP, un-spicy jalapeño, black plum, black berries, yet also tart red cherries and cranberries, forest floor, meat, leather. Sweet tobacco on the palate. Dry, medium plus acid, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium minus body. I would personally drink this anytime but could be a perfect fall/winter pick with all of the complexity and warm tertiary aromas. Love. — 5 years ago

Not a bad wine by any means just not my taste. Dry, very lightly acidic, not tremendously flavorful to me. — 7 years ago

Pale ruby red, day bright. Aromas of strawberries and cream, juicy blackberries and black cherries, a little bit of the welches grapefruit juice going on. Dry, medium plus acidity, unexpectedly noteworthy tannins but we’ll call medium, medium minus body, medium alcohol. A little stemmy. Easy drinking, juicy, fruity and could be a good fall pick. Nothing like a Beaujolais in case you’re wondering! — 5 years ago

Pale lemon yellow and day bright. Aromas of dried herbs, something enigmatically spicy...maybe like green peppercorns, candied lemon and lime, Greek yogurt, sweet grapefruit, flowers. Dry, medium acidity, tiny hint of tannins, medium alcohol, medium body. This is a complex wine that could be a great winter white. — 5 years ago

Ruby in color. Jalapeño, green bell pepper, and tart red fruit on the nose. Light body, moderate acidity, bitterness from tannins, moderately long finish. I’ve just found a new cellar staple. Love! — 6 years ago

Going gold and day bright. Perfume, wool, honeysuckle, beeswax, banana laffy taffy, honey, fresh green apples. Sweet honey and vanilla on the palate. Off dry but shows sweeter, medium plus acid but showing medium with all the sugar, full body, lower in alcohol. Really lovely wine for winter but could be too sweet for a solid pick. — 5 years ago

Pale pink in color. Bouquet wasn’t in your face but hinted at sweet and tart notes like a smartee candy. Acidic, light+ body, and medium minus sweetness. Overall, I enjoyed the wine for a simple, easy drinking selection but I wouldn’t boast about it. — 6 years ago

Very enjoyable wine to drink. The sweetness on the tongue balanced with acidity and lemon on the nose makes this reminiscent of a lemonade. — 7 years ago
