Cherry cola flavor. Peppery nose. Maybe some blackberry. More intense than just grenache. — 6 years ago
Interesting red blend made of 40% Petit Verdot, 31% Syrah, 13% Mourvedre, 8% Malbec, 8% Merlot. Flush with raspberry, cherry, and blackberry and dark chocolate aromas with background layers of caramel, cedar, orange peel, and baking spices. Together, reminds me of Black Forest cake. — 7 years ago
Quite surprised by how good this is. Not sure about eggs vixen as a concept for marketing these days, but anyway onto the wine.
Lovely nose. Really heady. And smooth as can be. I like it a lot. — 6 years ago
Dried violets blue plums moody...moods. Agianico is a dark haired vixen who winks at you then ever so lightly punches your arm, laughing. Dark wine sarcastic soul. Balsamic vinegar and prunes. Tannic thunder kept in check. By ripe and dried fruits sturdy and whimsically profound. — 6 years ago
Refreshing sparkling red. Nicer than a lot of other types of fizz — 4 years ago

Tar. Roses. The classics speak. This is SO along its way. The fruit is a forward vixen (it was a ripe year)?but you’ll be okay with it. And the acid is high enough, the green earth underneath enough that I know that the earth ballasts the fruit and tannins. At its heart blackberries, black cherries and tannins that are in your family. Get the f in. — 7 years ago

This saucy little vixen expresses it as expected for a Rioja. — a year ago
