Bright and acidic with some nice tannic depth. Really fun wine

Absolutely delicious. Equally good w BBQ brisket and Mexican food. Minimal tannin and maybe a touch of rs. Not for thinking, just for drinking.

Glou Glou at its finest. Honestly I think the price point on this wine is a tad high ($32), but not because the quality isn’t there. Stylistically I think it should be at around $25. In any case it’s delicious af.

Juicy, volatile, and tremendously flavorful for its sub-13% abv, it has the sweet fruit and spice of typical Grenache blends, on a leaner, fresher frame. Much better when served chilled, even cold, and no doubt would perform even better with six months of bottle age. Nonetheless, the perfect wine to liven up a heavy pork belly sandwich from bougie AF Eataly. Minus one point for horrific label design and one point for, at this price, why not just buy some really good Beaujolais or something.

Thirty dollars for this fucken thing I'm legitimately scared of this running out. Succulent juicy red and blsck cherries with a confectionary like edge, crushed musk lifesavers and subtle rhubarb and beets. Slight hints of spice waft through before a refeshing aromatic lift of white florals and clove come through from gewurtz. 'Silky' tannic structure, with fresh juicy acidity. Seemless drinking

Huge blend for a very enjoyable result
I’d call this more of a rose probably and serve it a little cold
Very smashable 👌🏽
