The Urban red is medium bodied and a deep ruby purple hue. The nose is earthy, with cedar and a little black raspberry. Tastes of tart black raspberry in the mouth with some oak, leads to a finish of black raspberry and oak. The tannins are still too thick on the finish. Still needs some decant time to smooth out the finish, otherwise, this is very drinkable right now.
The Wild Ferment is a yellow wine with a light to medium body. The nose is almost startlingly aromatic with scents of clove, star fruit and yeast. Good acidity in the mouth, with tastes of citrus, granny smith apple and hints of apricot. The finish has decent length with green apple, cloves and a little apricot still lurking in the back. The nose makes this Chardonnay distinctive, you will likely either like it or dislike it.
Deep ruby purple wine with a nose of earth, tobacco, black cherry and oak. A slight astringency in the mouth initially with tastes of black cherry and oak. The finish is smoother, but hot, with black cherry. This wine just doesn't seem to gel, the pieces don't seem to mesh completely.
This Torrontes is light bodied yellow wine with a floral nose that has a clean scent with a soapy edge. Steely in the mouth, the wine has white peach and lemon citrus. Green apple peel and citrus on a short-medium finish.
Purple hued with a medium body. The nose has a pleasant mix of licorice, vanilla, cedar, smoke and blackberry. Tastes of blackberry are predominant in the mouth. The texture has a fine gritty feel that turns smooth after a few minutes. The finish blackberry and vanilla on a decent finish. The tannins are still mouth coating, there's good life left on this wine.
