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 easy going pliable red w/nice red berried fruit profile. Fairly straightforward & 1 dimensional. Believe I’ve had this before w/consistent notes.

Oct 5th, 2022Old World all the way, restrained nose of cherry cola, pomegranate, raspberry - just a ton of red berry fruit, not overripe or baked. Medium bodied, lo ABV, like an old school Bordeaux actually - nice grip and a certain elegant balance. We kept saying: “this is actually really good” then the bottle was gone.

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

Jan 8th, 2021Cherry flavor, smooth, slightly acidic, and easy to drink. Found out our local Turkish market and the owner recommended this one based on my likes. Purchased for €5 and will buy it again on my next trip there.

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.
