There’s no reason for this 2015 bargain bin wine to be as sublime as it is right now in 2024. Classic petrol with candied tangerine, grapefruit and ginger aromatics mid palate is lively again with candied citrus. A little lightweight at the finish but an unexpected pleasure — 5 months ago
The producer of this lovely wine likens this ancient Georgian variety to sauvignon blanc. While this did have similar aromas of grass and lemon pith, as well as tropical fruit notes on the palate, I found this to be softer, and less tangy, than sauv blanc. Almost tastes like sauv blanc blended with riesling! 100% Rkatsiteli. 9/15/22. — 3 years ago
Quite good, bought on a whim, surprised by its bouquet. Dry but hints of fruit — 8 months ago
Cherry, hibiscus, a bit of spritz. Banger of a Georgian rosé. — 4 years ago
A quite nice wine from Georgia - relatively limited experience with these wines, but clearly a strong winemaking tradition. Nice and inky dark in the glass, with lots of dark berry fruit. Medium bodied with medium minus tannins and good acid on the finish. For the price - and with Georgian food in Brighton Beach - a nice wine for sure. — 5 years ago
