Fantastically bold, slightly sweet with a dry finish. Wow. This is what Zinfandel dreams of being.

Stellar wine! Tastes like a Saumur with a little more red fruit. Delicate and delightfully summery! Would benefit from being chilled 10-15 minutes before consumption.

My first Turkish wine. Totally meh. Light cherry flavors, some smoky notes but the flavors are boring. Strangely, even though I'm not a fan of the flavors, I like the texture -- the acidity and tannin are medium but the tannin builds and plays nicely against the round mouthfeel.

Light and fruity; i would think this would be a good burger wine. Easy to drink, light tannins.

Simple one note flavor that almost tastes watered down. I don't normally like that sort of thing but for me, that single note sings loud and clear, golden like a choir of angles hitting a high chord.

A bit too acidic without tannins to balance it out.

Apr 30th, 2018Pleasant surprise of a house wine at Agora Turkish Restaurant on the UES. Fruit forward with a lot of dark fruit, but acidic enough to not be "jammy." Also some earth notes. Great with lamb Adana.
