Interesting and approachable. Sunflower seeds. Subtle toasted coconut, white chocolate. Bruised peaches.

Fruity and herby at the same time. Inviting and interesting with apricot, melon and maybe thyme. Might try again.

My first Armenian wine with varieties that are totally foreign to me. Putting Hobbs on the label certainly convinces me to give it a try.
Aromas of apricot, tangerine, thyme, and subtle but noticeable oxidized notes of bruised apple and hazelnut (skin contact?). Sharp acidity pierced through a rich palate that at times feels heavy. Medium finish with light mineral notes. Quite unique.

Think White Rhone is right. Refreshing aromas of honeysuckle, melon, and crisp green apple give way to notes of toasted almond, key lime, and a hint of beeswax, with a flinty minerality and a lingering finish.

Unusual wine, tasting like a sherry or oxidized wine. Nutty flavors, but quite unbalanced. Perhaps it needed to be decanted, but I did not have time to do so. Perhaps my bottle was compromised.

Complex, layered and deep - this is a fabulous white blend. Reminded me of a mix of white Burgundy and Sancerre

Armenian wine with indigenous varietals-Voskehat, Khatuni, Qrdi, Garan Demak. A 1st for me. From over 2 weeks ago so I'm not remembering much except that it didn't blow me away for $30. White blend. in 10/20. WF 14%
