Aged in amphora. Dry, a hint oxidative, stone fruit. Very nice!

Reminiscent of pear cider + lemon pith. First Georgian wine I've ever tried. Distinct!

Opened up to a lovely citrus with heavy (if not overly full bodied) taste. Paired well with a huge selection of food.

Saperavi grape. Very good, both on its own and with food. $20 retail.

Delicious. Amphorae aged. Delicate orange. Very slightly oxidative in the right way. A little stemmy/spicy/mineral. Versatile with food. Georgia: the original hipsters.
