Lanchava Collection Saba 5 - Mtsvane 2023
From the historic vineyards of Kakheti, Georgia, where winemaking traditions go back 8,000 years, this Mtsvane is a lovely expression of both heritage and freshness. Crafted by the Lanchava family, it offers delicate floral and fruity notes, with green apple and soft herbal touches adding to its charm.

Dry, medium-bodied, and quietly elegant, it brings a refreshing lift on the palate with a balanced finish that lingers just long enough. A great match for fish, green or roasted vegetables, light pasta dishes, or simply as a graceful start to a meal. Honest, understated, and full of quiet character, this is one to sip and appreciate. Cheers! — 2 months ago

Ripe, rich, big Syrah, but also has a green vegetal streak, tobacco notes as well, smooth for 14.6% ABV, good balance as well, medium-long finish, the vegetal notes definitely detract. — 2 months ago

An over performer for the money. Was way more austere when I tasted a few years ago, and finally ready to drink. Tar, raspberry, wilted rose, dried mint, Saba. Delicious. — 2 years ago

Bottle #2 from the LB chardo mystery case….one of those super heavy chard btls…much better than #1, a ton of flavor, heavy on citrus & honey, not offensive in any way, but at the same time a little too up front on the palate, not much restraint. Stands up well to strongly flavored dishes. NB: open btl does not age well! — 10 months ago
