May 30, 2016 - with slow legs and a deep ruby red color, the nose is inviting & complex, suggesting a corresponding complexity in the tasting -- unripe white grapes, figs, raisins; tannins & fruit nicely balanced; finish is moderately long; could use more aging

November 9, 2015 - Enjoyed the wine with home made chilli and rice. Smooth and warm on the palette.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
would definitely buy again -

September 24, 2015 - Wine by itself was not good. (almost undrinkable)
Paired with a puttanesca (pasta, tomato, garlic, olive, capers) it was tolerable. -
