Pop and pour. Perfume, violets, wild strawberry, sweet pomegranate, rose hips, soft vanilla. On the palate: fantastic acidity...nice body but so streamlined, blood orange. pomegranate, excellent density, and soft tannin on the finish. Perfect for our mood. — 8 days ago

Chilling (literally) in Houston tonight by the fire bowl and pool enjoying some great music and wine. Beautiful ruby color in my glass. A great nose of baking spices, pomegranate and red plums. Elegant flavors of plums, pomegranate, orange peel, earthiness, and smoke. Beautiful acidity and silky soft tannins. A fantastic wine. I’ll sit on my other bottles for a while because I think this wine has great aging potential. Cheers everyone. — 8 days ago

Nose has grilled lemon, washed strawberry, vanilla cremé, wet flint rock, dehydrated apricot and warm butter.

Paired has cooked lemon slice, fresh lemon, pineapple, cold toffee candy, wet sand and medium acidity with medium finish.

Cork pulled for a 5H slow oxidation.

@David T probably has a better note...

Agreeable pairing tonight with 'Georgian Chicken'; (local) chicken thighs with dry rub, seared in cast iron, then simmered/baked in a walnut/cilantro/jalapeno/tomato paste sauce, finished with pomegranate seeds & pomegranate vinegar drizzle. — a day ago

Nose has carmel dipped strawberry, dried lemon zest, under-ripe lychee, grilled pear slice, slightly oxidized yellow apple slice and dry crushed rock.

Palate has honey drizzle over lemon slice, neutral oak, dried pineapple, pineapple core with light acidity and medium finish. A very nice wine for 2018, hitting this much too young. At $48 this is good, if you can land for under $40 it would be a way better value.

Cork pulled for a 5H slow oxidation.

Plums, cherries, beetroot and pomegranate. Still quite tannic and pithy. Toast, olives, licorice. Lively acidity. Slightly green and vegetal, but the freshness is charming. — 3 days ago
