Popped and poured to accompany various types of ravioli (veal/truffle, sausage, butternut squash, florentine). On its own, I found it very strange with some red raspberry but predominated by tomato/tomato juice and a lot of acidity. With the food it was tamed and actually paired nicely. I think it would be a great pizza wine. Interesting but not all that compelling.

Have tasted this twice now, both times found it to be excessively tart. Nice, light, ruby color. Nose has some cherry, but more spice and even some pepper. Strong acidity is out of balance with the mild fruit. No finish to speak of.

12.5% alcohol. Bright red color. Pretty nose of high-toned cherry and raspberry with a strong dose of minerals. In the mouth, slightly grapey with fruit all the way, leading to the sharp acidity. Solid finish. Good value. B/B+

Nose of thyme and plain yogurt. The palate is thyme, sour, astringent. This is from a good wine maker whose other wines have been quite enjoyable.

Muted nose with some redberry fruit and spice, some bitterness in the mouth not much structure to it. Not a bad effort.
