I had the 2018 by itself while watching some trashy TV (90 day Fiance, the other way, if you must know.) I wasn't expecting much from this #nakedwine bottle, but it was delightful. I'd describe it as initially sweet and smooth, then gets naughty with some tannins for some mouth feel and a peppery finish. It had a range of emotions, just like the 2020 election. — 6 years ago
Pears and crisp green apples. Tip toes around your palate. Stays slightly behind your food when paired with salads. #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Roses and violets all over this. Intriguing. #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Closed when first opened, but after it warms up, the fruit salad invites you in. Apple orchard, freshly picked pears, and nectar mended together to show a delicate nose. Rich texture and weighted body. Refreshing for the palate. Good find. #nakedwine — 9 years ago

Pure bramble, black plum and blackberry fruit edges out the herbal notes of star anise and 5-spice powder. Healthy new leather and hickory tangle with pure vanilla extract and Hershey's chocolate. Alcohol is sitting at 15%, but it stays in check and balanced with the fruit. Older vines from Lodi play a key role in keeping everything in its place. Thanks @Christy Fitzgerald! #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Nebbiolo can be so friendly within Barbaresco. It's nice to drink it in the present and not the future. #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Jam packed with gobs of black fruit sauce, spicy vanilla, and baked pie crust. Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchset and Grenache "Chaos" blend. Finishes strong, which allows you to enjoy its jammy stature. Decant to get these grapes on the same page. Cheers! #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Baked black plum and dark jam sauce. Clay pots filled with toasted toffee. Attractive weight and ripe tannins spiral into a heated finish. But there's oak... oh there's oak. Cheers! #nakedwine — 9 years ago

Jam city! Cooked sweet blackberry sauce makes it mark everywhere. Intense smoked caramel, cinnamon, brand new leather, sweet tobacco with added hints of chocolate on the finish. Big, bold, and sweet fruit highlights the palate. Tannins are supple, but this girl packs heat: 14.5% leaning towards 15%. Thanks @Christy Fitzgerald! #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Blackberry sauce, black currant, clay dust, iron, sweet meats, pipe tobacco, and allspice. Round tannins and acidity that accents the generous fruit. Balanced and savory. Cheers! #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Funky raspberry, bitter chocolate, and dark soil stains the glass. This is a heavy weight boxer. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca blend. Tannins pull your face off before anything close to a 2-hour decant. Let this take some deep breaths before you even get near it. Cheers to Tuesday! #nakedwine — 9 years ago
Light and easy drinking great for Summer's outside! #Nakedwine — 10 years ago
