Kindzmarauli Semi-Sweet Saperavi 2020

Semi sweet indeed!
Did not see that on the bottle.

Very soft wine with luscious blend of blueberry, dark cherry, clove, cinnamon, lots of sweetness, sugary.
Probably one of the smoothest saperavi’s I have had.

Probably no sweeter than most Lodi Zins these days, I’d wager.

A plus if it was extra smooth. 🍷

Dry Red SB Tavkveri 2017

I always love trying wines made from obscure varieties, especially when they're also from countries not normally associated with wine. This one was big and bold; slightly reminiscent of a zin from California, but less obnoxious. After a few days of being open it mellowed a lot and revealed rich flavors of wild cherries, spice, old leather, and some earth. So glad I tried this one! 100% Tavkveri. 2/27/23. — 9 months ago

This benefited from age and is in a great place. A tiny bit of oxidation, soft acidity, integrated tannins. A real winner and a sleeper surprise. — 4 months ago

Amber dry Rkatsiteli Mtsvane 2020

Orange wine that is a 50/50 blend of Rkasitelli and Mtsvane. Aged and fermented in qvevri. Beautiful copper/apricot color. Noticeable aromas of tropical fruits, lavender, cantaloupe and almonds. Pallet is full of mango, apricot, lemon zest and nuts. There is also a salty note on the finish. Light on tannin and very soft texture. Pleasant. — 6 months ago

Old Vine Dry Amber Mtsvane 2019

Rkasitelli (white) grapes are fermented on their skins in clay amphora to develop this beautiful amber colored wine. Aromas of oranges and apricot. Apple, peach and caramel on the pallet. Rich texture. There are tannins in this wine but the finish is creamy and smooth. Interesting. — 10 months ago
