Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Good acid balance. Nice smoothness to the mouth feel. Tropical, mineral, and straw notes throughout- perhaps accented with a little floral accent. Medium finish. Very solid. $18 (I like!)
Dark plum and cola profile with a brambly rhubarb note. Straight-forward with these notes from the bouquet through the palate. Very fruit forward. A mineral note, almost astringent, kicks in on the finish along with a stark acidity that almost overpowers the tannins. $64
Popped and poured, opened up with air. Ruby color with a fair degree of clarity. Fresh herbs, heather, rocky mineral and red raspberry fill the bouquet. Light and elegant with opulent red berry, river rock and hints of savory spice. Fine smooth tannins and an abrupt finish. Palm Bay Importers- +/- $32 (I like!)
Tea, red fruit, mineral, blueberry & cassis- accented with some ashy and gamey character. Soft and light, gliding with smooth tannins and a medium finish. Saranty Imports/Total Wine. $29.99
Expressive aromas- cassis, leather, black currant, tobacco. Ripe and open fruit on the palate with balance and some elegance- blackberry and currant with notes of stone, anise and espresso. Round and smooth on the palate with fine tannins. Full finish with fruit, mineral and eucalyptus notes. Very nice. $35 (I like+!)
Popped and poured. Still deep and rich in color- just a slight clarity. I get a lot of blueberry and mineral on this wine- both on the bouquet and on the palate. A little cassis on the bouquet as well. Pure open fruit on the palate with that rocky minerality. Secondary floral and herb notes- maybe a little black pepper. Medium body with flashes of silk and tea in the feel. Open tannins- opulent but balanced overall. Juicy finish- full but a little short. Drinking nicely. Palm Bay Importers- $36 (I like!)
