Stark fatkaraktär, fruktigt smakrikt. Väldigt gott! — 6 years ago
Earthy, capri lemon, mineral, and fennel in the bouquet.
Good acid profile (moderate to high), granite / chalky / earthy / peaty unctuousness going on.
Rocky/gravelly chew. Less green and more stony. — 2 months ago
Can from mexico? Lacking the tannins and full body of a typical cab. But very impressive considering geography — 3 months ago
Drinks a little hot this time around and I opened it at the correct temp. Concentrated with ripe tannins and some interesting wet rock nuances in the palate. Quality for the price is definitely there. — 9 months ago
2022/6/8-10 with scallop crudo, homemade fresh tagliolini al Portonat, frico, etc. A nice mix of more “typical”, bright Sauvignon Blanc citrus and herbs with richer, stone fruit notes. Strong minerality, sneaky richness and plenty of acidity ensure a strong structure, and subtle depth keeps one coming back. — 4 years ago

Had this again. Label is hint classy. Rustic. Color is lighter with a slight rust to the edge. Smells like rocks in the sun and flint. Berries too. Flavors are juicy, fruity and balanced. Zippy. This is a lighter styled GSM with a classy elegance to it. — 7 days ago
