Drinking a 21 vintage in 21 - this always strikes me as odd, but these 6 months old NZ SBS are so vibrant and fresh, it’s just a total delight. — 4 years ago

Uncorked a 3L for our dear friends whom just finished building their badass outdoor Tiki hut and bar! Badass tiki deserves a badass wine. This G Major 7 did the trick. Definitely my favorite from the GARGIULO lineup. Smooth as silk with depth of flavor. The blue fruit is prominently displayed which I adore. Oak is nicely integrated. Awesome finish of 60+ seconds. I buy this stuff automatically by the case load every year. What an incredible steadfast Winery they are! Literally never had a bad vintage. Even my 2011’s were rockstars.
Badass Tiki Hut deserves Badass in a Glass and this did the job! Cheers! 👍🍷🍷👍. — 9 years ago

It's the most elegant of the Cutwater tikis (there are a few). Pineapple and subtle almond funk dominate. Definitely the freshest of the tikis, more citrusy with a coconut vibe under something a little guava and even a little more molasses. — 2 years ago

Funky town! If you smelled this blind, you might think you were about to imbibe a tiki drink. Its appearance is murky and dark amber. In the glass, I taste mai tai, baker’s yeast and grapefruit acidity. Definitely worth trying! Can’t wait to pour this for @Paul Mabray — 7 years ago

Smoke, mineral and petrol makes this like standing next to a burning tiki torch while eating a slice of cold key lime pie. Bright acidity, bone dry, intense fruit flavors and long finish. Paired with Szechuan. — 8 years ago

This went straight to all the pleasure centers in my brain. Like seeing an image of brain activity of someone on cocaine. This is overt, juicy, and unyielding in its approach. Like drinking your favorite tiki drink on the beach, it demands that you smile, laugh a little, and just enjoy what's in your glass. Blown away by the balance at 70g/l RS, and very curious what some bottle age will do. — 9 years ago
