Color: Inky Purple Nose: Violet and Fruity Taste: Very Solid Blend and Juicy up front; Less Oaky notes with blackberry, plum, and a little spice; finish is very smooth with lots of balanced tannins and acid Comp’s: Great with a charcuterie board with medium to hard cheeses; good for a PnP and good with a little aeration

Color: Plum and Unripe Blackberry Nose: Blackberry, Cedar, Spice Taste: Bright and Juicy on the Entrance; Earthy middle; Plum and Violet round things out; Lingering for several minutes with balanced tannins Comp’s: Very solid Rioja with some time after PnP; Great on its own, but I just wish we drank it slower haha
Color: Pale Yellow Nose: Stone Fruit, Caramelized Lemon Taste: A ton of ripe stone fruit with bright rounded acidity; Slight juicy sweetness Pineapple finish with slight lingering tropical fruit like Papaya Comp’s: Not too complicated, but good flavors now; Great for the summer, with medium spice affairs, or heavier meals; quite tasty even for lazy Chinese food
