April 25, 2021 - Has evolved a bit. Fruit has receded some but still has the tropical fruit, mineral and nice acidity. Very gentle sweet fruit but just enough to whet the palate. Nice long mouth watering finish.
October 13, 2020 - This is Welch's Grape Juice at 55F. At colder temperatures, the sweetness moderates, but the best use of this wine is as a base for Sangria. In that case, with some limes, lemons, blackberries, and raspberries, it's delicious!
September 2, 2020 - Tropical fruit, mineral and nice acidity. Gently sweet fruit but just enough to whet the palate. Nice long mouth watering finish. Drank 1/2 bottle just waiting for dinner to bake. Last 1/2 with broccoli/bacon quiche. Very nice together.
May 13, 2020 - Another good vintage for Opolo. This is such a refeshing wine. Tropical fruit, a little stone, and really nice acidity. Great patio sipper or with dinner.
April 17, 2020 - Good full bodied wine. Paired with halibut with orange butter sauce.
October 2, 2019 - Retail $25. SIP Certified. Another fantastic wine from Opolo--I have opined before how I really tried to dislike this winery. It's relatively big, the person who led me around was a bit of a cheesy salesman guy, and people just seemed to have too good of a time while visiting. Then I realized I was being stupid--shouldn't people have a good time while drinking wine? Isn't a salesman's job to sell? And is size all that matters? Listen, the wine is good, very good, excellent even, with tropical fruit notes, a luscious Viognier body, but also a tart, almost bracing acidity. The finish is lengthy and flavorful. I give up. I love you Opolo! thedrunkencyclist.com
