I like this one. It's a simple weeknight dinner wine. I'd love this with beef stew. Bright red fruit, caramel and cake notes. Young tannins. Medium close to big bodied.

Nice and fruit forward the first night. Lots of cherry and a little tobacco. Light to medium tannins. The second night mellowed it out and felt more balance. Much more enjoyable the second night with the first still being pretty good.

Citrus (lemon and lime) with saline on the nose, same on the palate. Well balanced acidity and a good QPR at the $29 I got it at. I opened a bottle with friends a few days ago straight from the fridge where I had put it from the wine cooler and thought it was good but a bit muted. This time I drank it straight from the 55f cooler and it made a world of difference. Ready now but has a few years left on it.

Citrus and acid. That's it. Super simple but very satisfying wine to drink on the patio when it's hot out.

Light salmon color with this sparkler. Toasty nose that dissipated quickly unlike the ton of red fruit. Raspberry, watermelon and a bit of red apple. Some green apple and minerality. Mine was served at about 40f as was recommended on the bottle tag. Minimal beading and no mousse at all when poured. The palate was dry mirroring the red fruit on the nose with the addition of tropical fruit like guava and pineapple. High acidity that wasn't out of place. This sparkling rose of Malbec, Merlot and Mourvedre was thoroughly enjoyable and is made for poolside or a patio. Great summer wine.

Slate and lime on the subdued nose. Pear and yellow apple with a bit of chalk and balanced, medium acidity. Great summertime wine.

A mix of red and black fruit, garrigue, and some earthy tobacco on the nose. Cherry and a little strawberry on the palate, tannins are almost totally integrated with a peppery finish. This is at the tail end of its window. Drink now before it ages much further.

Nice Mourvedre with red fruit, earthy notes, and game. Lighter for a Mourvedre with rounded tannins. Drink 2022-2024.

Toast and golden apples right off the bat on both the nose and palate. Creamy mousse and mid level body. Not very complex but still enjoyable. Would purchase again.

The wine looks straw colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, lime and peach. It tastes like lemon and guava. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
