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.

Corked. Such a bummer because I think it would’ve been a nice wine (hints of raisin and oak). The pool water-wood chip aroma was overwhelming though & it quickly was relegated to cooking use only.

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.
