Pheasant's Tears
Kakheti Saperavi
The flesh of these grapes are colored red and the resulting wine is maroon almost black in colour. Very unique. Undergrowth and musky red fruits dominate. If you can even discribe these flavours!! Overwhelmingly earthy blackcurrant plum blackberry black fruit cranberry smoke.

Jan 6th, 2017Very interesting wine which develops nicely after an hour in the glass. Looks like squid ink in the glass it's so dark. Initial aromatics slightly reduced and cheesy but dissipates and opens into cassis and spices. Needs time to open up.

May 16th, 2016A fascinating little wine. Incredibly dark, but not boozy. Reminded me of a primitovo/nero d'avola kind of thing.

Dec 5th, 2015Gift from my kid's Georgian daycare owner, showing me what a "real saperavi" should taste like. Not so subtle dig to FLX producers working with same grapes.
Overwhelmed with Brett. Nose and color didn't translate onto palate. A big meh, gave it 2 nights but underwhelmed both times.

Dark color. Nutiness, oaky, chocolate, blackberries on the nose. Tannic, tart, spicy. Not balanced. Didn't finish my glass
