June 5, 2021 - Cherries with a huge savory streak and lingering tannins. Bottle didn't make it past the first round as everyone loved it (but many remarked "never had anything like this before").

July 5, 2018 - First glass was lost in slight effervescence; but a real treat once that faded. Concentrated red raspberry. Slight stemminess. Pure earth. Just the right amount of funk.

January 21, 2016 - Second attempt at this wine. Reading my prior note, maybe it was better 3 years ago. Pale red cherry with a brick rim. Sweet and intense nose, . Both sweet and bitter on the palate, pomegranate and bitter cherry, with a black tea with citrus notes. There is a little prickle carbonation, but not too much. Comes across as both very dry and bitter but with a residual sweetness that keeps you sipping the wine (this is not a wine you would be glugging....). Ultimately interesting on an intellectual level because it is so different, but not sure I want to drink with my pasta dinner.

November 19, 2015 - Not sure how to rate this. Like many of the other reviews this is fairly unique, more like cherry, raspberry soda pop though with a layer of complexity that makes it interesting if not pleasing. Too sweet for my taste. Would not buy again and glad that I only have 2 left to figure out what to do with!
Vacuum sealed, after 3 days a totally different more complex wine, surprised me. 90 after the 3 days
