Cute drawing on the label. CA villa. Nice color. Smells nice. Cranberry sauces and cherry cordial. Stems of bushes from a northwest forests. Flavors are crisp and tart. Easy drinking, but interesting. Backbone is good. — 13 days ago
Pretty well aged stuff. Little bit rusty edged, but still pretty deep red. Smells like old caves, funky beet soup, wet stream bank/ponds, plum/cherry liquors, a wood sauna, and barnyards. Flavors are clear, deep and black cherry based. It tastes like a very good handful of cherries or Boysenberries straight from the tree or vine. Balance of acid and fruit is amazing. Maybe it’s psychosomatic, but I feel like I can taste the clay pot they use to make it too. This is a special treat of a wine. Delicious and unique. It smells strange and tastes great. I’m a big fan of wines of Georgia after trying a few. I might need to make my pilgrimage before I die. — 14 days ago

Still very dark for a 15 year old red. Smells like berry-plum sauce and leather. Bit of wet gravel and flint. Flavors are lovely and elevated. Black currants. A hint of cola nut. Licorice drops. This is quite an elegant and lovely red. Could age longer. Beefy but with a velvet glove. — 4 days ago

This is a private label called Villa De Nardi and the wine is called: IL Terzetto. It’s a blend. Cab Sauv, Sangiovese, and Cab Franc. Made in Winters, CA. Comes out inky dark. Smells like caramelized fruits, tar and black licorice. Flavors are very interesting. For sure a berry and plum component. But plenty of licorice root, tonic herbs and mint. Finish has mocha and chocolate stuff. This is lovely big boy CA red wine. Balanced and inviting. Fun too. Once in a lifetime blend. — 5 days ago
Nice sparkling red ruby color. Smells like leather, baked blackberry cobbler and cherry jelly. Flavors are mountain, wild berries. Black currants and huckleberry perhaps. Elderberry jelly too. Herbal, beer made of roots flavors. I.e. sarsaparilla or sumac. This is classic, classy Calaveras county Zin. Complex and bright with lots of density. Aged well too. — 14 days ago
