Dry Red Saperavi
Georgia
Then there is this wine that the god of wine created to surprise everyone. Just when I thought I figured out wine, I got slapped with this legit red wine from Georgia. It’s a breathtaking wine. I am typically not a fan of too much extraction… 105 days of skin contact in this wine. The tannins were so smooth and in your face while plenty of fruit and acid to balance it all. Only 13.5% alcohol for such a big body wine. Loved this wine!

Ripe fruit and hints of oak on the nose. Deep purple in color with nice body. Inky, fruity, and a good balance of cherries and spice with a bit of dried fruit on the finish. Very good.

Strong taste of cherries, then raisins on the finish.

Dark on dark rim for this tinting grape with crunchy dark red fruit and nice, natural balance of acidity and ripe tannins. Held up well

Dark red, intense, peppery. Higher alcohol content than I expected (14.5%). The high alcohol and the bitter middle makes it almost too intense but it finishes with a fruity ending that makes it all ok. Make sure you give it plenty of time to breathe.
