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.

Nice light red, sort of like a Pinot noir. Some fruit, not very tannic, so I like.

Soft, medium acid fruits, can't pronounce the grapes to save me, yet completely enjoyable.
Yoghurt like creaminess, tiny tempered oak. Totally worth a tipple.

Ok. Don't know much about Turkish wine but the body and pepper went very well with a rich lamb stew.
