This is a project from an American, Swedes and Georgians in effort to preserve Georgian ancient wine traditions. Their winery and restaurant are located in Sighnaghi in the Kakheti wine region. The name of the winery comes from an old local saying that only the best wines could cause pheasants to cry tears of joy when drinking it.
Dark, glass-staining color. At the moment the nose is rather mute, but you get dark fruit, smoky meaty notes. The palate is relatively medium-light in feel given the dense color with good acidity to go with the dark fruit and a touch of black tea. Yet fairly tannic. It has potential to get better given the tannins, acidity and current austere mood. 89+
