Primarily the unique Blatina (Interesting grape-85%) with some Vranec (10%) and Alicante Bouchet (5%) blended in. Deep ruby color. Aromas of sour red fruits (cranberries and pomegranates), earth, dried flowers and herbs. Pallet is full of sour cherry and raspberry flavors along with that earthy component. No oak. Long finish. Extremely smooth tannins. Enough acidity to maintain balance. Interesting and delicious! Thank You Ron B! — 4 years ago

Wow! A really really decent red blend. Velvety and smooth and at an amazing price point. Bosnia-Herzegovina has a bright future if this is an indicator of where it’s going. Highly recommend. — 9 years ago

First warm day of the Spring season, so I thought it was time for some Rose’. 100% Blatina grapes from Bosnia Herzegovina. Light coppery/salmon color. Aromas and flavors of peach, apricot, red berry/cherry and citrus fruits. A nice creamy and weighty texture and also very savory. Crisp acidity brightens the finish. — 3 years ago
Probably the best blatina I‘ve tried so far. A masterpiece made of blatina grapes. Oaked for two years, dark ruby colour, black fruits with intense vanilla flavour, concentrated, dense, powerful, masculine, but still rather balanced. Very long aftertaste. — 8 years ago

Soft raspberry and ripe wild strawberry nose. Wet earth. Palate confirms very soft fruits and light black pepper notes. Medium acidity and medium tannins. Noticeable chocolate and wet brown bark flavors. Bought it at whole foods for like 8 bucks. Had it with coconut veggie curry, really brought out the spice. Finished it with dark chocolate which lent a coffee note to things. — 11 years ago
Wine is a medium garnet, with a medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of black currants, black plum, Black cherry, and anise. On the palate there is an intense flavor that matches the nose, but some earthy notes such as the forest floor. medium to Low tannins that are very well integrated. A long and pleasant finish. The wine is balanced, with very unique, identifiable flavors. There could be a little more complexity though. Overall, a very good, almost outstanding wine! — 4 years ago
