Apr 15th, 2018Lush and surprisingly bright for a red. Smooth and bold while still being light-bodied. Notes of tropical fruits on both palate and nose. Medium-high acidity but not tannic at all.

Jun 23rd, 2022Like spotting that unassuming girl next door on a weekday afternoon with flowers in her hair. Suddenly in that Wednesday afternoon light she seems different; you get that feeling like you’ve underestimated something valuable - all these years - that maybe you could like her, have been liking her all along. Through the beauty of time - simple has become attractive and the familiar feels fleeting. The you-know-me and I-could-bring-you-anywhere-and-people-would-love-you reality draws you closer. You wish you didn’t like simple. Didn’t like the obvious smell of strawberries and ocean breeze. Wish you hadn’t traveled around the world, only to look out your window and see your future, but you did, and you do.

Jan 27th, 2018Interesting Czech wine. Great surprise and good for discussion. Very light, almost like a white wine. Fruity. Hint of sweetness, low/no tanin

Dec 29th, 2017What a crazy wine. Nose of lychee, passion fruit, rose petal, and orange rind. Palette of juicy blood orange and fresh mulberries. Super dark in color but drinks super light. Second time trying it and I like it even better. If you want something just way different but drinkable, this is it. Drink it alone, drink it with dessert, drink it with some Eastern European stews, or just drink it to be blown away.
