Vitner: an expressive nose with intense aromas of white stone fruit, citrus fruit, bay and touches of balsamic. it is a fresh and full-bodied wine with a lengthy finish bursting with juicy white fruit and salinity.

The wine has an intense, dark purple color with a violet rim. Bright & vivacious in the glass, very youthful. The nose is expressive with powerful cassis, plum, exotic spice & hints of floral aromas. On the palate the wine is medium bodied with intense flavours of crushed black fruit, cassis, vanilla & dark chocolate. The tannins are very soft & silky with fresh acidity & a focused, linear flavour profile. The wine has a persistent & long lasting aftertaste.

Still some tannins and a bit more acidic than I like in a Cab. May not have much time left in the bottle. Drink up.

Too fruity for a Zin w/ no body or structure.

Very weak. Not much of anything in tone or palate.

Strawberry color, a tad sweet, little, if anything, left on the palate. I'll pass on buying this again.

Not at all sweet, in fact, a bit dry, which was a nice surprise.

Unbelievably dry as a rose. I taste notes of chardonnay & a bit of sauvignon blanc. Nice complex notes.

I liked this as a summer wine when I bought it but it might be beyond it's enjoyable life. I hope not since I have a few more left.

Started out a bit sweet with the chocolate overtones but mellowed after being opened awhile. Tannins also mellowed after breathing. Very smooth wine with complex layering flavors.

Absolutely delicious! Big mouthfeel, lots of unctious fruit, great blend of Cab, Sangiovese, & Merlot. Hate to see this one end.

Medium-bodied cab. Lacks depth, complexity & tannin.

A phenomenal chardonnay - complex, with delightful lingering notes of stewed peaches. Best at room temperature, not chilled. Not cloying or oaky.

Started out as a light-bodied cab & very fruity. Fruits mellowed and the body got a little fuller in the 2nd hour. A delightful cab when not looking for a full-bodied wine.
