Modra frankinja 2021

Fruit from multiple vineyard sites. Bright garnet color with ruby and purple highlights. Bountiful fruit forward aromas and flavors of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, cranberry and kirsch with hints of dried herbs and black pepper. Plush and juicy with soft tannins, medium body and crisp acidity. Tangy and very “Beaujolais-like.” (Malolactic fermentation?) No sign of oak aging. Thanks for the tasting, Ron B! — 2 months ago

Belo 140 Kerner Renski Rizling 2023

Interesting Slovenian white blend of Kerner (80%) and Riesling (20%). Aromas of apple, peach and white flowers. The palate is more orchard fruit (peaches and apricots) focused with additional notes of minerals and ripe pear. Lovely hint of saline on the finish. Bright acidity and freshness. Complex and vibrant. Outstanding! Thanks for sharing this interesting wine, Ron B! — 2 months ago

Projekt Noir 2022

100% Pinot Noir. Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of ripe red cherry, strawberry and raspberry with hints of dried herbs and dusty earth. Juicy red fruit also fills the palate along with a touch of mushroom. Acidity is high but the wine does not seem out of balance. Bone dry with a very long finish. Thank you for the tasting, Ron B! — 2 months ago
