Coffee is a dominant element of the raw bouquet, which comes across a touch burnt. Modest red fruit carries the somewhat tannic palate. More elegant than opulent, and ready to drink soon if not now. Of note: one reviewer did not like this wine, noting charred, grassy aromas and off flavors.

Very ripe fruit nose with pineapple, melon and lychee overtones. Slightly creamy mouthfeel with firm but sweet grapefruit and spice characteristics. Slightly like Gewürz. A bit atypical, but elegant and enjoyable. Best Buy.

Here’s a wine with pretty rosy vibrancy, elegance and spectacular freshness across the palate. The wine imparts attractive notes of blueberry, small forest berries, stone fruit and minerals. It is zesty in the mouth with good persistency and would pair with seafood, pasta and salads.

Ripe fruit aromas of cherry and blackberry jam appear on the nose and give this wine a sunny personality. Make no mistake, this is an easy, decidedly un-complex wine, but it is fun and refreshing to drink over an informal meal with family and friends.
