The darkest rose I have ever tried and my Georgian wine. Interesting...earthy beets with a residual sweetness...brown sugar maybe and then some fruity tartness. — 7 days ago

Exceptional value. Dark, inky color but well balanced and medium body. Some funk and earth floor, which I like. Drinks above its price. — 11 days ago
