Dusty tannins, mellow acids, medium-minus bodied. Touch of green bell pepper, mineral, tea. From Flatiron Wines.

Great little wine. On the nose, very floral, slight green pepper, blackberries. In the mouth, blackberries and rose hips. Light and pretty with moderate dusky tannins and good acidity. Great food wine, but certainly awesome on its own.

Loads of tannins, green bell pepper, a touch of eucalyptus, crushed dried violets. Not as good as their La Coudraye. From Flatiron Wines.

Bell pepper, cardboard. Medium-bodied. Dry tannins with, again, hints of baked bell pepper.
