Bright, earthy, spicy, red berries. Good amount of acidity gives it an uplifting tang… with little to no tannin structure. Makes it a great sipper, but the acidity also held up to lamb rogan josh… a tall order for any wine!

#RoyalTenenbaum #falcon NICE
Red-dark fruit, smooth and just the right amount of chewy. Goes down *too easy*.

Plummy salami graphite sandwich, with bell pepper-spiked strawberry relish and rosemary infused black tea pairing. Wants a picnic scenario and passionate conversation. Game on, May.

Big and lush without being overly extracted. Good prisoner alternative. Crowd pleaser.

Pencil shavings, pepper, dark fruit, glycerol, savory spices. Good drop for sub $30.
