11/16/2022 - Rezy13 wrote: NRSpicy, natty, juicy, mushroom, leather, tea, floral, spritzy and sharp acids on the palate, a fun and easy going red with decent complexity but toes the line a little close to the natural side that can go into the bad end of the spectrum but no issues yet. |

8/20/2017 - Rezy13 Likes this wine: NRWine at the Lake (Lake Lanier, GA): Very green in color; initially the wines seems very sweet almost cloying, either the wine opened up or my palate calibrated, this shows some sweet yellow fruit, sweet and fresh green pear, spiced pear, floral, candied ginger, an incredible creaminess to the texture, acid is soft and not shrill while the wine still shows good freshness, lots of slate, lots of class and obvious skill here, need to get more. |
